At the pre-release event of Laila, Megastar Chiranjeevi delivered a powerful message on unity within the film industry, addressing the ongoing fan wars and misconceptions about so-called “camps.” When a journalist questioned the existence of a “Mega camp” and a “Balakrishna camp,” Chiranjeevi lauded Vishwak Sen for his insightful response, emphasizing that the industry has no boundaries or factions.
Chiranjeevi wholeheartedly agreed with Vishwak Sen’s stance, stating that cinema is a collective effort that thrives on collaboration, not division. He highlighted that admiration among actors is natural, sharing a personal example—his son, Ram Charan, is an ardent admirer of Tamil superstar Suriya. The Megastar then posed a rhetorical question: “Does that mean I should stop attending Charan’s events just because he looks up to another actor?”
Recalling the past, Chiranjeevi acknowledged that while professional rivalries existed, they never extended beyond film sets. Unfortunately, fans often misinterpret these as real-life conflicts, leading to unnecessary divisions. He reminisced about the golden era when Telugu and Tamil film fraternities would come together for celebrations at Madras’ iconic Honey House, fostering a spirit of camaraderie.
Stressing the importance of unity, Chiranjeevi expressed his strong bond with industry stalwarts like Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, and Balakrishna, emphasizing that they frequently meet and maintain genuine friendships. He dismissed the idea of isolating Vishwak Sen, reaffirming that the young actor is an integral part of the industry’s growing family.
Wrapping up his speech, Chiranjeevi highlighted the interconnected nature of the film business—producers reinvest earnings from one film into another, often featuring different actors. He urged everyone, from actors to filmmakers and fans, to support one another instead of fueling unnecessary rivalries. According to him, only through mutual respect and collective growth can the Telugu film industry continue to flourish.
With this heartfelt message, the Megastar once again proved why he remains a guiding force in Tollywood, advocating for harmony and professionalism over divisive fan culture.
