It’s a big day for Telugu cinema as the one and only Megastar Chiranjeevi turns 70 today, August 22, 2025—and the celebrations are just as grand as the man himself. Leading the birthday wishes is none other than Allu Arjun, his superstar nephew, who took to social media with a warm post and a photo that’s melting hearts across the internet. The caption? "Happy Birthday to our one and only Mega Star Chiranjeevi garu. @KChiruTweets"—short, sweet, and full of legacy.
The picture shared features the iconic duo in high spirits, likely from a recent event that buzzed with family warmth and fan frenzy. It’s not just a birthday; it’s a festival when it comes to Chiranjeevi. A planned visit to the Tirumala Srivari Temple, as reported by Tupaki.com, adds a spiritual layer to the celebration, embracing tradition in true Tollywood style. For fans, this birthday holds extra significance—it’s the 70th milestone of a man who’s not just a star, but a living legend.
Let’s talk legacy: Chiranjeevi holds a record that no one else in the 100-year history of Telugu cinema can match—eight "Industry Hits", according to Wikipedia. That’s not just stardom; that’s cinematic royalty. And Allu Arjun’s tribute today isn’t just a nephew’s love—it’s a salute from one generation-defining icon to another. The image speaks volumes: legacy, love, and longevity—all in one frame.
Amid all the festivities, fans haven’t forgotten what’s next. Chiranjeevi’s much-anticipated movie "Vishwambhara" is now aiming for a Summer 2026 release, after a delay from its initial January 2025 slot due to production challenges. But if history is any indication, it’ll be well worth the wait. The buzz around the film already promises another massive chapter in the Megastar’s storied career.
Whether you’re a fan from the '80s or a Gen Z discovering his legacy, today’s the day to celebrate Chiranjeevi. And thanks to Allu Arjun’s heartfelt message, the internet is doing just that—flooding timelines with love, nostalgia, and a whole lot of Mega Star magic.
