    HBD Ram Charan: Did You Know the Restrictions Chiru Placed on Ram Charan During His Childhood?
    HBD Ram Charan: Did You Know the Restrictions Chiru Placed on Ram Charan During His Childhood?
    As the son of Megastar Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan stepped into the industry and carved a unique star status for himself in Tollywood. Making his debut with "Chirutha," Ramcharan went on to score an industry hit with his second film "Magadheera." With "Rangasthalam," he proved his acting prowess, and "RRR" elevated him to a global star status. On the occasion of Charan's birthday, let's delve into some fascinating details about his childhood. Ramcharan was extremely shy in his childhood. He rarely participated in family functions. While Allu Arjun and Allu Sirish danced, he would just watch them and cheer. Today, Ramcharan's dancing skills can be attributed to the talent inherited from Chiru. Interestingly, Charan never took any dance coaching except for acting lessons. It's remarkable how he mastered dancing without formal training. Growing up, Ramcharan wasn't particularly interested in movies, which could partly be due to Chiranjeevi's influence. Chiru made sure that the allure of cinema didn't distract Charan. To ensure Charan focused on his studies, even movie posters were not allowed at home. Chiru granted "cinematic freedom" to his son only after he completed his 10th grade. As for Charan's academic life, he was an average student and never stayed in one school for more than two years. Throughout his childhood to teenage years, Charan frequently changed schools and colleges. In total, he has attended 8 schools and 3 colleges. However, sports, more than studies, captured his interest. He learned horse riding as early as the fourth grade, showcasing his skills in "Magadheera." Chiru was just as strict about bike riding as he was about movies, hence he didn't encourage Charan to pursue bike riding. Charan has a great love for pets and often gifts them to relatives and friends on their birthdays or weddings. Every year, Charan is seen wearing a new spiritual thread, believing it brings peace and discipline into his life. Charan married Upasana, Vice-Chairperson of Apollo Hospitals, in 2012. The couple has a daughter named Klin Kaara. Chiranjeevi's comments on his movies, whether it's about a dance or a fight scene, hold great importance to Charan. After watching "Dhruva," Chiru appreciated Charan for doing justice to his role and character. Watching "Rangasthalam," Charan's mother was moved to tears, making these moments unforgettable for him. To date, Ramcharan has entertained Telugu audiences with 14 diverse films including "Chirutha," "Magadheera," "Orange," "Racha," "Govindudu Andarivadele," "Dhruva," "Rangasthalam," and "RRR." Currently, he is busy with "Game Changer," directed by the renowned director Shankar, which is set to release soon. Charan is also working on a film (#RC16) directed by "Uppena" fame Buchibabu. The film, where he stars opposite Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor, recently had its puja ceremony. Furthermore, Charan has officially announced another project, "RC17," with director Sukumar, following the blockbuster success of "Rangasthalam." This collaboration has set high expectations among fans.

The movie is set to go on floors this year, with Janhvi Kapoor acting opposite Ram Charan. Busy as a Producer Too! While busy as an actor, Ram Charan is also focusing on film production. Having produced big-budget films like 'Acharya' and 'Khaidi No. 150' with his father Chiranjeevi, Charan has launched a new production house named 'V Mega Pictures' to produce concept-oriented small films. Under this banner, he is producing a patriotic movie titled 'The India House', starring Nikhil as the hero.

    MEGA HEROES: Mega Family's Domination in Tollywood... So Many Heroes?
    MEGA HEROES: Mega Family's Domination in Tollywood... So Many Heroes?
    Once upon a time in Tollywood, names like NTR, Akkineni Nageshwara Rao, and Superstar Krishna were synonymous with the industry. However, with the arrival of Chiranjeevi, the Telugu film industry saw a significant shift. Chiru, who delivered numerous superhits, established himself as the leading hero and paved the way for the younger generation in his family. Today, Mega Heroes reign supreme in Tollywood, with a minimum of one movie from them hitting the screens every 5 to 6 months. Let's have a glance at the Mega Heroes who are currently dominating the Tollywood scene. Pawan Kalyan Pawan Kalyan, Chiranjeevi's younger brother, stepped into Tollywood and quickly gained a massive fan following. Making his debut with the movie "Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi" (1996), Pawan rose to the top with hits like Suswagatham, Tholi Prema, and Kushi. Recently, his films Vakeel Saab and Bheemla Nayak have been successful at the box office. Currently, Pawan is busy shooting for his upcoming movies, Ustaad Bhagat Singh and Harihara Veera Mallu. Ram Charan Ram Charan, the son of Chiranjeevi, entered the industry and has now reached pan-India stardom with the movie RRR. Charan made his debut with the film Chirutha and later consolidated his position in Tollywood with the movie Magadheera. His fame grew exponentially with the film Rangasthalam, which was further elevated by RRR. Currently, Charan is working on the movie Game Changer, directed by Shankar. After that, he has a movie lined up with Uppena director Buchi Babu. Allu Arjun As Chiranjeevi's nephew and Allu Aravind's son, Allu Arjun entered the world of cinema. With his debut movie "Gangotri," Allu Arjun made a strong impression. Following that, films like Arya, Bunny, and Desamuduru solidified Allu Arjun's status as a leading hero. With the release of the Sukumar-directed film Pushpa, Allu Arjun gained pan-India recognition. He currently holds the top spot among Telugu heroes with the highest number of Instagram followers. Presently, Allu Arjun is busy shooting for Pushpa 2. Sai Dharam Tej Chiranjeevi's nephew, Sai Dharam Tej, also entered the industry as a Mega Hero. He captivated Telugu audiences with his 2014 film "Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham." He then garnered superhits through movies such as Subrahmanyam for Sale, Supreme, and Chitra Lahari. Sai Dharam Tej's latest movie, Virupaksha, is set to hit the screens on April 21st. Varun Tej As the son of Mega Brother Nagababu, Varun Tej made his entry into the film industry. With his debut film 'Mukunda,' Tej captivated everyone's attention. His films 'Kanche,' 'Antariksham,' 'Tholi Prema,' and 'Fida' became successful at the box office. Currently, Tej is acting in VT13 and 'Gandivdhari Arjuna’ films.   Panja Vaishnav Tej Panja Vaishnav Tej, another nephew of Chiranjeevi, also made his way into the industry. He achieved great success with his debut film 'Uppena.' His subsequent film 'Konda Polam' received critical acclaim as well. However, his recent film 'Ranga Ranga Vaibhavanga' failed to impress Telugu audiences. Allu Sirish As Chiranjeevi's nephew and Allu Arjun's younger brother, Allu Sirish stepped into the film world. Sirish, who made his debut with 'Gouravam,' managed to win audiences over with films like 'Okka Kshanam,' 'ABCD,' and 'Kotha Janta.' His film 'Srirastu Subhamastu' was well-received by family audiences, but his latest movie 'Urvasivo Rakshasivo' fell flat at the box office. Kalyaan Dhev Chiranjeevi's son-in-law and Sreeja's husband, Kalyaan Dhev, also tried his luck as a hero. With the film 'Vijetha,' Kalyaan Dhev made his first appearance in Telugu cinema but failed to make a mark. His subsequent films 'Super Machi' and 'Kinnerasani' also failed to captivate Telugu audiences.
