Megastar Chiranjeevi has been receiving huge appreciation for his commendable performance in his latest blockbuster film “Sye Raa,” released all over the world on Wednesday.
No doubt, “Sye Raa” will remain the most outstanding film of his career. And if anybody demands a national award for Chiranjeevi for his great acting in the film, it is fully justified.
And if any fans of the megastar go a little further and demands that “Sye Raa” should be nominated Oscars with Chiranjeevi’s name in the best actor category, too, one can understand their love and affection for their favourite actor.
But, there is an interesting demand from Chiranjeevi’s fans who seem to be super excited with the success of “Sye Raa.”
President of Chiranjeevi Fans’ Association Swamy Naidu has demanded that the megastar be conferred with Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award of the country.
Swamy Naidu, who unsuccessfully contested as an MLA from Rajamundry rural assembly constituency in 2009 on the ticket of Praja Rajyam Party floated by Chiranjeevi, wrote a letter to the Centre to put forth his demand.
He said: “Indian Government must honour Megastar Chiranjeevi gaaru with Bharat Ratna Award for his awesome performance in Sye Raa.”
There is no doubt that Megastar Chiranjeevi is a legendary actor with an experience of 152 movies. He deserves the government’s honours.
He ruled the industry as number one star for more than three decades. But demanding Bharat Ratna for ‘an acting performance’ is something crazy.
But that is how fans of an actor react. By the way, Indian government has already honoured Chiranjeevi with Padma Bhushan, third highest civilian award.
May be, he will go one more step and get Padma Vibushan award sooner or later!
