But still when it comes to cinema, Nagarjuna didn’t hesitate to ridicule Chiranjeevi in the worst way possible.
The fresh movie 'Gaganam' reached screens today. And people are discussing on the character called 'Shining Star' in the movie. The character was played by Prithvi and many are concluding that the character is a replica of Chiranjeevi. ‘Shining Star’ is a top film star in the movie who gets into the flight. He also has a fan that gets fascinated by him in flight. When the flight gets hijacked, the fan expects that ‘Shining Star’ gets into action and protects all the passengers. But in turn, the ‘Shining Star’ gets frightened and weeps. This makes the fan disgusted.
This scene recalls an incident that happened in the year 1993. The flight that was carrying Chiranjeevi and many other passengers was landed near Tirupathi in emergency. With the fellow passengers it was revealed that Chiranjeevi shocked and shouted like anything inside the flight knowing that the flight was under danger. Chiranjeevi's fear was revealed to public that way.
The point to be underlined is that the flight in 'Gaganam' also lands in Tirupathi Airport. There is also another incident in the film that directly hits Chiranjeevi. The fan says to Shining Star, your dialogues are superb. Your fresh dialogue 'cheyye kadaa ani cheyyi veste cheyyi teesthaa' is really super sir".
Well, this dialogue resembles the popular dialogue 'mokke kada ani peekeste peeka kosthaa', from Chiranjeevi's 'Indra'.
Chiranjeevi is sailing in bad time and his close friend Nagarjuna also ridiculed him this way through his film.
