Chiranjeevi’s 150th film to begin early next year

"My fans' wish will come true very soon. The shooting is likely to begin next February," Chiranjeevi told newsmen in an informal chat at the PRP headquarters here today.

Praja Rajyam Party president K. Chiranjeevi today hinted that shooting for his 150th feature film would begin in February 2011. The actor-turned-politician recently announced that he would again be donning the grease paint and act in a film in deference to the wishes of his fans.

“My fans wish will come true very soon. The shooting is likely to begin next February,” Chiranjeevi told newsmen in an informal chat at the PRP headquarters here today.

Chiranjeevi, who is a member of Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly from temple-town Tirupati, said he would henceforth devote 20 days in a month to politics and the rest to films.

“We are accordingly drafting a plan. There is no question of ignoring or neglecting politics,” Chiranjeevi said.

The Telugu megastar is currently reading a few scripts for his 150th movie venture that will be produced by his actor-son Ramcharan Tej.
