Chiranjeevi to act again

Hyderabad, July 1 (PTI) Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi
has decided not to quit acting following the advice of Amitabh
Bachchan.
The 55-year-old actor-politician had announced that he
was bidding adieu to acting because of his involvement in
politics but Bachchan convinced him otherwise.
"I will do my 150th film which will be directed by
Puri Jagannath," Chiranjeevi announced at the premier of
'Buddha...hoga tera baap', starring Amitabh Bachchan and
directed by Jagannath.
Interestingly, Amitabh offered to play a guest role in
Chiranjeevi's next film, much to the cheer of the fans.
Another Bollywood director Ramgopal Varma said he was
ready to direct Chiranjeevi in his 151st film, if he was
willing to continue acting.
"Yes, I will act again. Puri Jagannath will direct the
film," Chiranjeevi declared amidst loud cheers by scores of
fans and film personalities present at the multiplex complex.
At the launch of UTV's Action Telugu movie channel two
days ago, Chiranjeevi – who is now a member of Andhra Pradesh
Legislative Assembly – said he would not act in films
henceforth and the gap would be filled by his actor-son Ram
Charan Tej.
Incidentally, Charan will be producing his father's
150th movie.
Chiranjeevi, who debuted in 1977 with 'Punadhirallu',
has been part of critically and commercially hit films like
'Idi Katha Kaadu', 'Punnami Naagu', 'Subhalekha', 'Khaidi',
'Pasivadi Pranam', 'Hitler' and 'Rudraveena'. PTI DBV
