The recognition of Megastar Chiranjeevi with the Padma Vibhushan has sparked widespread celebrations in the Telugu film industry. To honor this significant achievement, a lavish celebration was hosted by Upasana and Ram Charan, joined by the entire Mega family. The event garnered attention with the presence of Telangana CM Revanth Reddy, who personally congratulated Chiranjeevi. Notable political figures like Kavitha Kalvakuntla and Kishan Reddy were also in attendance.
However, the absence of BRS president and former minister KTR did not go unnoticed. KTR, a known friend of Ram Charan in the political arena, had previously been a chief guest at various pre-release events for Ram Charan’s films, such as Dhruva and Vinaya Vidheya Rama. Speculations are circulating that, in the aftermath of BRS’s recent electoral defeat in assembly elections, the Mega family might be establishing closer ties with the current chief minister, Revanth Reddy. In the film industry, it is common to maintain good relations with the ruling party, as people tend to align with the rising sun. Whether KTR chose to stay away or was sidelined remains unclear.
