Prominent personalities from the Telugu film industry and political arena attended the star-studded event.</p>

<p>Attendees at the glamorous party included Venkatesh, Nagarjuna, Brahamanandam, Thabitha Bandreddi, Suresh Babu, Mythri Naveen, and Dil Raju. Other notable celebrities like Niharika, Varun Tej, Allu Aravind, Sharwanand, Shankar, Sai Dharam Tej, and Vamshi Paidipally also graced the occasion. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, along with several other political figures, were also seen celebrating Chiranjeevi's phenomenal achievement.</p>

<p>Chiranjeevi, dressed in a dark blue shirt and denim pants, exuded elegance at the celebration. Ram Charan, on the other hand, opted for an embroidered black shirt and matching pants while Upasana showcased style in a black and white ensemble.

It brought me closer to the audience. Raj's untimely demise is a great loss to the music world. My deepest condolences to all his fans and family members. (sic).”</p>

Nagarjuna terms 'Laal Singh Chaddha' as 'breath of fresh air', praises son Naga Chaitanya

<p>South star Chiranjeevi, who has been actively promoting Aamir Khan’s ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ in Hyderabad and also unveiled the film’s Telugu trailer, recently sat down to talk about the movie with its lead star, along with Naga Chaitanya and Nagarjuna. A promo clip from the promotional interview for the film recently surfaced online.</p>

<p>In it, when Aamir is questioned by Nagarjuna about how he managed to get into the various looks of ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, Aamir replied, "This transformation has been done by the VFX people."</p>

<p>However, when Aamir made the statement, Chiranjeevi did not believe him and playfully asked that this part of the interview should be edited out. He said, "Edit this part out. I won’t believe."</p>

<p>A few days ago, the film’s lead star, Aamir, organised a special screening for Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, Sukumar, and SS Rajamouli in Hyderabad.</p>

South star Chiranjeevi, who has been actively promoting Aamir Khan’s ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ in Hyderabad and also unveiled the film’s Telugu trailer, recently sat down to talk about the movie with its lead star, along with Naga Chaitanya and Nagarjuna. A promo clip from the promotional interview for the film recently surfaced online. In it, when Aamir is questioned by Nagarjuna about how he managed to get into the various looks of ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, Aamir replied, "This transformation has been done by the VFX people."
