In a heartwarming gesture, Megastar Chiranjeevi honoured young Indian cricketer Tilak Varma, one of the shining stars of the Asia Cup, on the sets of his upcoming film “Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu.”
The film, directed by Anil Ravipudi and produced by Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela, is currently progressing at a brisk pace in Hyderabad. Amidst the shoot, Chiranjeevi paused the schedule for a special moment. He celebrated the young sportsman who played a key role in India’s thrilling victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup final.
Chiranjeevi’s heartfelt gesture
With his trademark humility, Chiranjeevi warmly welcomed Tilak Varma to the set. He draped a traditional shawl over his shoulders and presented him with a framed photograph capturing his iconic innings.
He praised Tilak for showing composure under pressure and focus beyond his years. Chiranjeevi called him a “true example of discipline, passion, and perseverance.”
“Hard work and consistency are the real stars of success — in cricket, cinema, or life,” the Megastar said.
The felicitation was attended by actress Nayanthara, director Anil Ravipudi, and the film’s producers.
All of them applauded Tilak’s dedication to the sport and commitment to excellence. They noted that his performance had inspired millions of young Indians.
For Tilak Varma, being honoured by a screen legend like Chiranjeevi was more than a fan moment. It was a recognition that blended cinema, sports, and inspiration on one platform. “Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu” marks another collaboration between Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi. It promises to be a family entertainer with emotional depth and humour.
Even as the film’s shooting continued, this moment of respect and camaraderie stood out. It reflected the Megastar’s humility and his enduring belief in encouraging the youth of India.
