Chiranjeevi's focus is films, not politics

Megastar Chiranjeevi seems to have put his stint as a politician completely behind him. The actor-turned-politician has in the recent past said in interviews that he prefers to keep away from politics for variety of reasons.

Even as several actors, including Nagma, Khushbu from Kollywood and Vijayashanthi and Balakrishna from Telugu films campaigned in Telangana in the run-up to the elections, Chiranjeevi has chosen to stay away from campaigning for anyone. Interestingly, his brother Pawan Kalyan is touring in Andhra Pradesh for the Jana Sena party and Chiru probably chose to keep away from the campaign trail to prevent any clash with his brother.

The actor, who is currently shooting for Sye Raa also stayed away from campaigning in Telangana, reportedly because he does not want to go against the TRS in order to avoid any problem with them in future if they win. “He is waiting for the results and if the Congress wins, he may warm up to them again,” said a source.

“He is a very sensitive person and he gets emotional when others accuse him. In politics this is common, but Chiru doesn’t like it, so he may not join politics again,” the source added.
