Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi, along with Mamootty, Mohanlal ruled the southern industry in the late 1970s-mid 1980s. Although he started his film career in 1978, it was only in 1981 in the film ‘Mana Voori’ that Chiranjeevi tasted success. Like Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi also started his career playing the antagonist and later went on to do some memorable leading roles. His stint in Bollywood was short but a successful one.
