The rising trend of biopics in the film industry has taken an intriguing turn as Megastar Chiranjeevi recently announced a unique collaboration with renowned writer Yendamuri Veerendranath. During the NTR-ANR memorial ceremony in Vizag, Chiranjeevi expressed his admiration for Yendamuri, describing him as unparalleled in contemporary writing. In a surprising move, Chiru handed over the responsibility of his biopic to Yendamuri, citing a lack of time to undertake the endeavor himself.
Acknowledging Yendamuri’s significant influence on his career, Chiranjeevi credited the writer’s work, particularly mentioning ‘Abhilasha,’ for playing a pivotal role in shaping his journey in the film industry. This development adds an interesting layer to the growing trend of biopics in the industry. While some, like NTR’s, may not have been as successful, others, such as Savitri’s biopic ‘Mahanati,’ have proven to be huge hits. On the film front, Chiranjeevi is gearing up for his next project, Vishwambara, directed by Vassishta, with a slated release for Sankranthi 2025.
