Exactly 2 years after saying goodbye to films and plunging into politics full time, actor-turned-politician K Chiranjeevi has decided to take a break from politics and act in movies.
The actor announced that his next film would be a social message-oriented one, on the lines of
Tagore and
Stalin.
The actor-turned-politician-turned-actor said that shooting for his new film would begin next year. The story is yet to be finalized, he pointed out.
Chiranjeevi said that his film would live up to the expectations of his fans, besides delivering a social message and at the same time being a good entertainer for all sections of people. Chiranjeevi said that it would be tough donning the greasepaint once again, especially after being away from acting for so long.
He said, "Films and politics are 2 entirely different things, and balancing both of them would require hard work."
Earlier, his son and actor Ram Charan Teja had announced, on Chiranjeevi's 56th birthday, that his father would make a return to the big screen.
He had also announced that his father's new film, where he would be playing the role of the protagonist, would be ready by his next birthday.
In a career spanning more than 3 decades, Chiranjeevi has acted in 149 films.
Chiranjeevi was last seen in his son's film
Magadheera, in which he made a guest appearance. His last film as a lead actor was
Shankar Dada Zindabad.
Chiranjeevi had first recently expressed his desire to act in films when the audio of Rajnikant-starrer "Robot" was released in Hyderabad early this month. He said that after watching the promos of Robot, the artiste in him desired to get back to acting.
