Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi, affectionately known as Megastar by his legions of fans, has made history by being awarded the title of the Most Prolific Film Star in Indian Cinema by The Guinness World Records. This remarkable recognition was presented to him on September 22, a date that holds special significance as it marks the anniversary of his film debut in 1978. The occasion not only highlights Chiranjeevi's illustrious career but also cements his status as a cultural icon.

Chiranjeevi's achievements are nothing short of extraordinary. Over the span of 46 years, he has performed in more than 537 songs and executed a staggering 24,000 dance moves. The Guinness World Records team counted 143 of his films for this achievement, though he has actually acted in over 150, showcasing his dedication to his craft and the sheer volume of his work. This milestone exemplifies the hard work and passion that have propelled him to the forefront of Indian cinema.

In a heartfelt statement upon receiving the award, Chiranjeevi expressed his surprise and gratitude. He stated, “I never imagined I would achieve something like this. This record belongs to everyone who has supported me—producers, directors, choreographers, and especially my fans. Their unwavering support has been my driving force.” His humility and recognition of the teamwork involved in his success resonate deeply with those who admire him.


Family support played a vital role in celebrating this momentous occasion. Chiranjeevi’s daughter-in-law, Upasana Kamineni Konidela, who is married to his son Ram Charan, shared moments from the award ceremony on social media, congratulating him and highlighting the strong bonds within their family. The presence of family members, including his daughter Sushmita Konidela and other relatives like Varun Tej and Sai Dharam Tej, underscored the unity and pride they share in his accomplishments.

The event also drew significant attention from industry peers. Aamir Khan, a renowned actor and filmmaker, was present at the ceremony and praised Chiranjeevi's unmatched dance performances. He remarked, “If you watch any of his songs, his heart is completely in it. He enjoys every move, and because of that, we can't take our eyes off him. His joy is infectious.” Aamir's words reflect the admiration many hold for Chiranjeevi’s dedication and the impact he has made on the industry.

SS Rajamouli, the visionary filmmaker known for blockbusters like *Baahubali*, was among the first to congratulate Chiranjeevi on social media. He tweeted, “Just read that he performed 24,000 dance moves in his career. What an incredible 46-year journey! Congratulations to Chiranjeevi garu on achieving the Guinness World Record for being the most prolific star in Indian cinema.” Such accolades from fellow filmmakers emphasize the respect Chiranjeevi commands within the industry.
