Megastar Chiranjeevi En Route to Delhi for Padma Vibhushan Award Ceremony

Amidst a wave of pride and celebration, Megastar Chiranjeevi has embarked on a journey to New Delhi to receive the prestigious Padma Vibhushan Award, India’s second-highest civilian honour. Following the announcement by the Government of India on January 25th, 2024, Chiranjeevi’s selection for this esteemed accolade has been hailed as a momentous occasion, particularly in the Telugu-speaking states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Bid farewell by well-wishers and esteemed personalities at his residence, Chiranjeevi opted for the convenience of a private jet as he left for Delhi. The grand ceremony, scheduled for May 9th, will witness the Megastar being conferred with the Padma Vibhushan amidst the esteemed presence of dignitaries and luminaries.

Accompanying Chiranjeevi on this significant journey are his son and actor Ram Charan, Upasana Konidela, and his wife, Surekha, who are adding a familial touch to the occasion.

This recognition honours Chiranjeevi’s illustrious career and symbolizes his significant contributions to the Telugu Film Industry. Currently engrossed in filming his highly anticipated Pan-Indian magnum opus, “Vishwambhara,” directed by K. Mallidi Vassishta, Chiranjeevi continues to elevate the standards of Telugu cinema.

“Vishwambhara,” envisioned as a socio-fantasy masterpiece, marks Chiranjeevi’s 156th film and features Trisha Krishnan in a prominent role. Produced by Vamsi Krishna and Pramod Uppalapati under the UV Creations banner, the film promises to captivate audiences across languages, with plans for extensive releases in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.

The involvement of Oscar-winning music composer MM Keeravani further amplifies the anticipation surrounding “Vishwambhara,” slated for an early 2025 release. As Chiranjeevi heads to Delhi to receive the Padma Vibhushan, the nation eagerly awaits this cinematic icon’s next milestone.
