Megastar Chiranjeevi Telugu Hits
Before he was "Megastar," Chiranjeevi was the actor who turned Telugu cinema's dance number into a genre of its own — a run of energetic, often improvised steps that no choreographer fully scripted and no rival quite matched. This playlist gathers the songs behind that reputation, from 1980s mass hits to the soundtrack of his 2025 comeback.

Who Is Chiranjeevi?
Born Konidela Siva Sankara Varaprasad on 22 August 1955 in Mogalthur, West Godavari district, Chiranjeevi trained at the Madras Film Institute after finishing college at Sri Y.N. College, Narsapur. His mother, Anjana Devi, suggested the screen name he's used ever since. He debuted in 1978 with "Pranam Khareedu," but it was "Khaidi" (1983) that turned him into a mass phenomenon, followed by a string of hits through the '80s and '90s — "Intlo Ramayya Veedilo Krishnayya," "Gharana Mogudu," and "Swayamkrushi," a performance that earned him international attention when it screened at the Moscow International Film Festival.
Across a career of over 150 films, he's won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu a record ten times, three Nandi Awards, and the National Film Award for Best Actor for "Tagore" (2002). He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 2006 and the Padma Vibhushan — India's second-highest civilian honour — in 2024. His 2019 comeback vehicle "Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy" grossed over ₹500 crore worldwide, and he most recently starred in the 2025 political drama "Vishwambhara."
