In a memorable event, Megastar Chiranjeevi was awarded the esteemed ANR Award by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan. This honor holds special meaning for Chiranjeevi, who expressed his joy and gratitude during his heartfelt speech.

Reflecting on his illustrious career, Chiranjeevi acknowledged the importance of the ANR Award, stating that, unlike the Padma Vibhushan and Padma Bhushan—which represent victories beyond his home turf—the ANR Award symbolizes a triumph within the Telugu Film Industry. He quoted the saying “Inta Gelichi Racha Gelavatam,” emphasizing the personal significance of this recognition.

The actor also revisited the controversy surrounding the "Legendary Award" from the Vajrotsavam Event. While he initially accepted that award, he later chose to keep it in a time capsule, waiting for a moment when he felt truly deserving.

Receiving the ANR Award from Amitabh Bachchan, alongside a warm invitation from his friend Nagarjuna, provided Chiranjeevi with a profound sense of fulfillment and closure. His emotional reflections resonated with the audience, taking many back to 2007, and marking a significant moment in his career as he finally felt recognized by his own industry.
