Megastar Chiranjeevi and his family celebrated the Telugu new year with a devotional ceremony at their residence in Hyderabad. The family performed puja rituals and offered prayers to seek blessings for a prosperous year ahead.
Chiranjeevi shared glimpses of the celebration on his social media handles, wishing his fans and followers a #HappyUgadi.

Chiranjeevi, who is one of the biggest stars in the Telugu film industry, has a massive fan following not just in South India but also across the country. His fans were delighted to see him and his family celebrating the festival with such devotion and enthusiasm.
The Telugu superstar has several highly anticipated projects in the pipeline, including the upcoming film “Acharya,” which is scheduled to release in May 2023.
