Mega Star Chiranjeevi's comeback film Khaidi No 150, his 150th is creating sensation at the box office setting new records. His fan following even after a gap of ten long years left everyone stunned. Craze for him remained intact even after he quit films for politics.
This left many wonder why did this fan following transformed into votes when he entered politics by launching his own party Praja Rajyam in 2009. It is known that Khaidi No 150 is turning out to be the biggest hit in his career but what shocked all is the way he lost in 2009 elections.
His PRP got just 6,820,845 votes and got confined to just 18 MLA seats in the assembly. In Palakol, Mega Star himself faced shock defeat. His stardom and fan following was even better than at present.
Khaidi No 150 film success proved that fans and movie lovers love him only as Mega Star on silver screen and not as politician on political screen. They saw him as a mass hero who can give them entertainment and not as a leader who can solve their problems.
Even the presence of powerful politicians like Chandra Babu,YSR,KCR resulted in the deafeat of Mega Star Chiranjeevi. Chiru himself failed to convert his fan following into votes. He failed to counter the allegations that he sold tickets for money.
