Stories and speculations about Chiranjeevi's political re-entry are not new. Although he has been making clear statements from time to time, these rumors persist.
As the elections heat up in Andhra Pradesh, stories about Chiranjeevi's potential political comeback continue to surface.
Recently, Chiranjeevi was honored with the title of Padma Vibhushan by the central government, the second-highest award in the country. Following this, speculations linking Chiranjeevi with current politics emerged once again.
Rajya Sabha elections are imminent, with notifications already issued for 56 seats across 15 states. Three seats each are available from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Reports suggest that the Bharatiya Janata Party is considering sending Chiranjeevi to the Rajya Sabha from Uttar Pradesh or Bihar.
Analysts speculate that the BJP sees an opportunity to revive Chiranjeevi's political career to use his support, especially considering the upcoming elections in Andhra Pradesh and other states.
If Chiranjeevi's political involvement materializes, and the BJP returns to power at the center, there are rumors in the national media that he might be offered a ministerial post.
In fact, Central Ministry is not new to Chiranjeevi as he has already served after merging his PRP into Congress.
Chiranjeevi, currently enjoying the status of Padma Vibhushan, has been busy meeting visitors at his house and receiving their greetings. However, he has not disclosed his political stance.
While he has distanced himself from politics, declaring no intention to re-enter and expressing disinterest in current politics, rumors suggest that the BJP might have successfully influenced him. Chiranjeevi, however, has not confirmed or denied these reports.
Chiranjeevi has picked up pace in his film career, fueled by the success of "Waltair Veerayya." Despite setbacks like "Bholashankar," he remains focused on carefully selecting movie projects.
The film "Vishwambhara" is currently in progress, with plans to allocate full call sheets for its production. Another project announcement is expected soon.
Amidst these movie developments, the Padma Vibhushan award, and rumors of a political re-entry have added to the speculations surrounding Chiranjeevi's future plans.
As the election fervor rises across the country, there is anticipation for Chiranjeevi to make a definitive announcement about his potential political re-entry.
Whether he chooses to return to politics or not, it is crucial for him to address the speculations in the current situation.
