Mega Star’ no-show at industry meeting

On Thursday, Telangana Film Development Corporation Chairman Dil Raju led a delegation of the Telugu film industry to meet Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. Prominent film personalities such as K. Raghavendra Rao, Suresh Babu, Murali Mohan, K.L. Narayana, Shyam Prasad Reddy, Nagarjuna, Venkatesh and many others attended this meeting. However, the absence of Mega Star Chiranjeevi and any actor from the Mega family raised many eyebrows.
Reports suggest that Chiranjeevi was in Chennai on Thursday and therefore couldn’t attend the meeting. There are also speculations that his absence was deliberate, as he chose not to be in Hyderabad to avoid attending the meeting. Adding to this, some reports claim that Chiranjeevi, rumoured to be leaning closer to the BJP, may have intentionally distanced himself from the Congress-affiliated Chief Minister of Telangana.
Interestingly, it wasn’t just Chiranjeevi who was missing; no actor from the Mega family attended the meeting either. Sai Dharam Tej, known to have a good rapport with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, was notably absent. Similarly, Ram Charan, Varun Tej, Vaishnav Tej and Nagababu were also missing, leaving the Mega family entirely unrepresented. Even Allu Aravind, who is no longer seen as part of the Mega compound, did not attend. This lack of participation from the Mega family has sparked intense debate within the industry since Thursday. Adding to the intrigue, Chiranjeevi was reportedly back in Hyderabad on the same day and was seen attending a wedding that evening. It’s worth noting that this is not the first instance where the Mega family’s absence has raised questions. When Allu Arjun was released from Chanchalguda Jail and returned home, many industry members visited him to show their support. However, none of the Mega actors were among them, further highlighting the ongoing distance within the family.
