Chiru's 150th film shelved

Megastar Chiranjeevi who acted in 149 films so far was to do 150th film this year. Last year, Chiru's son Ramcharan Tej announced that Megastar will be acting in a film and that he would produce the movie for his dad. However, with the latest political developments in the state, looks like Chiru's 150th movie plans are shelved for now.

Sources from political circles confirm that Chiranjeevi will merge his party Prajarajyam in Congress this weekend.In return Congress party is likely to give Chiru a Union Cabinet minister post or make him the Deputy Chief Minister of the state and a few minister posts in the state cabinet for his MLAs.If that comes true, then Chiranjeevi will get busier in politics and he could be actively used against new challenges for Congress like Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.There are also rumours of mid-term polls to the state assembly this year.

Keeping all these points in view, observors point out that Chiru has now no plans to 'act' in a movie as there is lot on political front for him to be occupied.Earlier,Ramcharan Tej had approached several directors to take up his 150th film and V V Vinayak is believed to have agreed to take up the challenge.With Chiru becoming busy now, the movie plan is shelved for now.
