Ram Charan, one of Telugu cinema’s biggest stars, has completed 18 glorious years in the film industry today, September 28. On this special occasion, his father and legendary actor Chiranjeevi shared a heartfelt note, expressing pride and admiration for his son’s journey. Ram Charan made his acting debut in 2007 with Chirutha, a film that introduced him as a lead hero to Telugu audiences. Over the years, he has become a household name, delivering several memorable performances and blockbuster hits. To celebrate his son’s milestone, Chiranjeevi took to his X (formerly Twitter) account and penned an emotional message in Telugu.
Reflecting on Ram Charan’s journey, Chiranjeevi wrote, “Charan Babu, I am immensely delighted that your cinematic journey, which began 18 years ago with Chirutha, has today firmly established itself in the hearts of millions of fans. The moment I saw you as a hero on screen… as a father, I can never forget it. Your discipline, hard work, determination, humility, and dedication have made you stand out uniquely in the industry.” He further added, “As a father, I always feel proud seeing you. With the love of Telugu audiences and the grace of God, I wish that you scale many more peaks. Victory be yours!”
