In Stalin, Chiranjeevi is a man of the masses, a do-gooder who comes to aid of those in distress.
From the dusty small town of Narsapur in West Godavari district, Konidela Siva Sankara Vara Prasad, his original name, has come a long way to dominate the Telugu tinsel world.
With no family connection with the film industry, Chiranjeevi's was a lone journey from rags to riches. After graduation in Narsapur, he moved to Chennai, the hub of south Indian films, where he worked as cost accountant and enrolled himself in a film institute.
He made his debut in 1977 with Manavoori Pandavulu, a hugely successful film directed by Bapu. There was no looking back since then.
