The Telugu film megastar-turned politician Chiranjeevi has bid adieu to the film industry after three decades of association. Chiranjeevi said that he was taking with him the blessings, love and emotion of the entire film industry.

Chiranjeevi shakes hand with actress Ramya Krishnan during the farewell party in Hyderabad on Saturday. — PTIAt a star-studded party, which the Chiranjeevi had thrown to the big-wigs of the tinsel town in Ramanaidu studios here, the star assured his film colleagues that he would not disappoint them. “I am not going to do anything which will make you feel degraded or which will affect your pride. Keep the trust in me. That is my promise”, he said in an emotionally charged voice.

While no film star from politically influential NT Rama Rao family attended the party, the presence of another senior star Mohan Babu came as a big surprise to the observers and the fans.

Another family conspicuous by absence was of veteran actor Krishna.

Nagarjuna and Venkatesh were among the stars who attended the function along with the prominent producers and directors like D. Rama Naidu, Raghvendra Rao, K. Vishwanath, Ashwani Dutt, Rajendra Prasad and Devi Vara Prasad and Kodandarami Reddy.

Chiranjeevi, who will make his last appearance in a forthcoming Telugu film along with his son Atmacharn, has said that he may work in film occasionally if it has some serious social message to convey.
