Popular actor-politician Chiranjeevi and his wife Surekha met Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy at the YSRCP chief's residence in Tadepalli in Amaravati.
Chiranjeevi and Surekha reached Vijayawada on Monday afternoon. The duo met for the first time after Jagan became the CM of Andhra Pradesh in May this year.
Jagan's wife YS Bharati was also present at the meeting, where Chiranjeevi and YS Jagan honoured each other with silk shawls. The veteran actor also invited the Chief Minister to watch his latest film, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy.
Chiranjeevi’s historical flick is based on the life of 'freedom fighter' Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy, who was a descendant of a dispossessed polygar family, a powerful feudal class of chieftains who looked after administrative matters in villages across the south. He is hailed as a hero for leading the first rebellion in Andhra Pradesh against British rule in 1846.
Earlier this month, Chiranjeevi met with Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan and invited her to watch his movie.
The film was bankrolled by Chiranjeevi’s son and actor Ram Charan Teja under his home banner, Konidela Production Company, on a budget of Rs 200 crore. The movie is said to be doing well at the box office.
The movie, which was released in three languages - Tamil, Telugu and Hindi - has Amitabh Bachchan, Vijay Sethupathi, Kicha Sudeep, Nayanthara and Tamannah in pivotal roles.
R Rathnavelu is the cameraman for this film, with A Sreekar Prasad editing it and Amit Trivedi composing the music.
