Quote of the day by Chiranjeevi.

Chiranjeevi celebrated his birthday on the last day, and several superstars, from Malayalam actor Mammootty to Mahesh Babu, shared their wishes for the ‘Godfather’ actor. Born on August 22, 1955, Chiranjeevi has built a decades-spanning career in Telugu cinema. The Megastar’s views on handling box-office success and failure are surely motivating on a bad day. One of Chiranjeevi’s notable comments about professional setbacks came during the promotions of ‘Godfather’ in 2022. At the time, the actor opened up about the failure of his previous movie, ‘Acharya’.

Quote of the day by Megastar Chiranjeevi

During the promotional events for ‘Godfather’, Chiranjeevi spoke about how his attitude towards movie results had changed with experience. The actor recalled how strongly he reacted to his movies’ success or failure during the early stages of his career. He said that he eventually reached a point where the commercial outcome no longer affected him in the same way.Chiranjeevi said, “In the past, I used to be happy if I delivered a hit and sad if it was a flop. Now those days are gone. I crossed that stage in the first 15 years of my career.”He further explained, “After establishing as an actor, you don’t mind the successes and failures. The outcome of movies is not in our hands.”

Chiranjeevi speaks about ‘Acharya’

Chiranjeevi also addressed the performance of ‘Acharya’, which featured him alongside his son Ram Charan. The movie was a significant project for the father-son duo. The actor maintained that the team had put considerable effort into the movie. He also said that the eventual result did not make him regret the work that went into the project.Chiranjeevi said, “We have given our best to ‘Acharya’ as we work hard for every project. I am not sad that this movie is a flop.” He added, “We did what the director said. However, the film was a flop.”The actor nevertheless admitted that the movie’s outcome affected him for a personal reason. It was the first time he and Ram Charan had shared the screen in a full-fledged project. Chiranjeevi said, “This movie made me sad for one thing. This is the first film that Charan and I have done together. But unfortunately, it failed.”Sadly, Chiranjeevi’s film ‘Godfather’ also received mixed reviews and faced trolling from sections of the Malayali audience. In this context, Chiranjeevi’s quote becomes even more meaningful. Being overly emotional about the successes and failures in life can only add to our burden. It is better to accept life as it comes. Work hard and put sincere effort into everything we do, and keep moving forward.
