Chiranjeevi is the King of Indian Cinema – Amitabh Bachchan
Chief guest Amitabh Bachchan said, “I am deeply honored to be present at this function. It is a wonderful celebration for a great actor like Chiranjeevi. I got an invitation for a Chiranjeevi’s function for the third time. For the first time I got an invitation for 100 days function. I could not make it. Chiranjeevi invited me for his daughter’s wedding. I could not attend because I was ill. A boy from a small village entered the film industry with dreams in his eyes and now he achieved Padma Bhushan. I had very little interaction with Chiranjeevi. Chiranjeevi is man of great humanity. It is very easy to be successful. But it is very difficult to sustain that success consistently. His humility and dedication made him to be on the top of his profession. Once you reach the top in any profession, it becomes an obligation and necessity to serve the society. I am happy that he is doing a lot to the society with a charitable trust. Generally there is a myth that Bollywood is the biggest film industry in India. But the reality is that Telugu film industry is the biggest film industry in India. Telugu film industry is commercially much stronger. Chiranjeevi is the reigning hero in Telugu which makes him the king of Indian cinema. I wish Chiranjeevi an everlasting life and success. May he win Bharata Ratna in the future.
In August 2007, Dr.Chiranjeevi also received South Film Fare Special Legend Award presented by legendry actor & Bollywood Baadshah Amitabh Bachchan in presence of entire South Indian Film Industry. While taking the award Chiranjeevi says, 'While receiving such prestigious awards, we(along with Malayalam Super Star Mammotty) remain dumbstruck. At this moment, I feel that I am still a student and talking in front of a Headmaster. That Headmaster is none other than Big B Amitabh Bachchan. He is an inspiring personality for many artistes. I thank all the producers, directors, technicians and co-stars on this occasion. Especially, it was my fans who refill energy every time. This legendary award is the result of all the power that was given to me by all these people
