Shouldn't it read as Konidela Siva Sankara Vara Prasad (born ...), better known by his stage name Chiranjeevi, ...; instead of the existing notation? [[MOS:FULLNAME]] or did he change his name legally? [[MOS:CHANGEDNAME]] [[User:DaxServer|-- DaxServer]] ([[User talk:DaxServer|talk]]) 12:51, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
I think it is unnecessary to give the number of days the films ran as every movie of his runs for at least 100 days.
:{{u|DaxServer}}, he has held a ministerial post with the name Chiranjeevi, so [[MOS:CHANGEDNAME]] applies. For other cases such as [[Ravi Teja]] where there is no legal name change, [[MOS:STAGENAME]] is followed. [[User:Ab207|Ab207]] ([[User talk:Ab207|talk]]) 13:22, 18 July 2021 (UTC)


== Consensus for CNN-IBN popular actor poll ==
It is neccessary to list out the number of days since people ( young generation ) and history should know.


Since, it is by definition a populist survey and doesn't carry much merit. I propose to remove it or move it down to appropriate article section. [[User:DaxServer|-- DaxServer]] ([[User talk:DaxServer|talk]]) 12:53, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

== Adding Padma awards as Prefix ==

Padma awards (in this case PadmaBhushan) is an honor given by the Govt and is not a Title. It should not be used it as prefix to one's name. I edited to make it just "Dr. Chiranjeevi".

thanks.

Dont speak rubbish boss think little before writing such thing's as mentioned below no one is so fool to give a National award without any stuff in a person...

:Please read my edit carefully. I never said that he has no stuff in him. In fact, in the previous discussions i mentioned that he was given the award in Arts and socilal service category. All i said was that Padma awards are an honor bestoewed on teh individual and shall not be used as a title. This was clerified by Supreme Court of India, As such, it appears that i was not speaking rubbish.<small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:70.61.92.190|70.61.92.190]] ([[User talk:70.61.92.190|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/70.61.92.190|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

I am very happy to see Chirajeevi's move on Blood Bank! With the same token, Chiranjeevi can change the HealthCare landscape in India. For example, his voice can inspire his fans to keep themselves healthy. Fundamentally, people make the country rich rather than the government that is responsible to keep law and order for the progress. People should be responsible for their health and environment to safe-guard mother earth. Good eating habits, moderate exercise, etc will not only keep one's health but also produce good blood for the need as well as for the next generation. First of all, his fans should be free of smoking, alcohol, drugs, etc. I think that celebrities can change the world by their movies that influence life style. Please make sure that smoking, alcohol, drugs, over-eating, etc are removed from the movies. This can done only by wonderful people like Chiranjeevi, Mohan Babu, et al. - pingalasp@gmail.com

National Award:

It appears that he did not receive national awards for Swyamkrushi and Rudraveens. He got Nandi Awards (state level) awards for both these movies. He did get a Nargis Dutt Award for Rudraveena.

Under Filmography, in 1997, It says Master was the first release, but Hitler movie was released before Master.

== Misinformation in lead paragraph ==

In the introductory paragraph, it says that Chiranjeevi is the only Indian actor to have won seven Filmfare awards. However, this is not true: [[List of Shahrukh Khan's awards and nominations|Shahrukh Khan]] has won eleven. This sentence is misleading and should be removed. [[Special:Contributions/96.51.161.175|96.51.161.175]] ([[User talk:96.51.161.175|talk]]) 17:43, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Forgot to log in before I posted, sorry. This is GSMR, and I have added the peacock template to this article, mainly because of the introductory paragraph. [[User:GSMR|GSMR]] ([[User talk:GSMR|talk]]) 17:44, 30 November 2008 (UTC)


To correct you, Shahrukh Khan won 11 filmfare awards not only as a best actor. He won best actor filmfare award for 7 times, one best new comer award, one best actor in a negative role, etc., <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/122.175.78.168|122.175.78.168]] ([[User talk:122.175.78.168|talk]]) 17:52, 16 February 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I have to differ both claims- the title for most Film Fare awards won by an actor belongs to Kamal Haasan, who won it 17 times folowed by Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao(11),Mohan Lal(9), Dilip Kumar(8), Amitabh Bachchan(8), Shahrukh Khan (7)in that order.

== Chopra? ==

This article is about Chiranjeevi, however, many of the sections are about someone named Chopra.

This article needs serious rework. [[User:GSMR|GSMR]] ([[User talk:GSMR|talk]]) 17:46, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

== Peacock template ==

Who removed the {{tl|peacock}} template? This entire article is full of blatant peacocking according to Wikipedia's [[WP:APT|peacock terms]] project page.

Some examples (key words italicized):
* a ''legendary'' film actor in telugu film industry and also ''the most popular'' telugu film actor replacing Late Sri NTR.

The popularity thing might be considered valid if it had a reference, however, as it is, that is unacceptable.
* He is ''one of the best'' actors
* Rise to ''MEGASTAR''

While some of this appears to have been fixed in recent edits, it is still not satisfactory. Please fix this article up. Some of the information is flat out wrong, in fact:
* is the only indian film actor to receive 7 filmfare awards

No, he isn't. Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan have both won eleven each. Also, that should be written as "seven", not "7". Moot point because the information there is not correct. [[User:GSMR|GSMR]] ([[User talk:GSMR|talk]]) 00:55, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

And from what I understand Kamal Hassan is the Indian actor with the most number of Filmfare awards. 16 of them the last time I counted (subject to correction). [[User:Prince747|Prince747]] ([[User talk:Prince747|talk]]) 00:40, 22 August 2010 (UTC)prince747

== Neutral Point of View ==

(cur) (last) 22:07, 23 December 2008 Alexander227 (Talk | contribs) (17,361 bytes) (He already received a legend award from National Filmfare Awards. So this statement is fine.) (undo)

No, that statement is NOT fine.

It is not professional to impart opinions or praise for a subject in an encyclopedia article. The word "legendary" is not appropriate in the lead paragraph. I can think of several Indian actors who have received the same honour from the Filmfare Awards, but this does not mean that it is acceptable to describe him as being "legendary". Instead, you could mention that he won an Legend Award, but, in any case, that does not belong in the lead paragraph.

[[WP:APT#Words_and_phrases_to_watch_for]]

[[User:GSMR|GSMR]] ([[User talk:GSMR|talk]]) 16:22, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


Thats what I am saying dont impart ur opinions here. The national media considers him matinee idol and legendary what is your problem with that. If you visit India's best channel NDTV website, you can find the statements like he is the most popular actor in telugu film industry, what more refernce do you want. He is definitely the most popular.
* Well, that's the national media's opinion. It is not a fact, it does not meet the criteria specified by [[WP:NPOV]], and it makes the article look unprofessional and poorly written. (Not that it already isn't, though) Also, do not vandalize the title of my talk page post. You are not editing this article correctly and I will get the attention of an admin if you don't stop. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:GSMR|GSMR]] ([[User talk:GSMR|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/GSMR|contribs]]) 18:37, 24 December 2008 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
::GSMR is correct. Also using the term 'super hit' is not acceptable either. <span>[[User:Prodego|<font color="darkgreen">''Prodego''</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:Prodego|<font color="darkgreen">talk</font>]]</sup></span> 18:43, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


Well if you dont want me to mess with your talk name then dont use my name to it. Use some other name. And I am editing it. Go talk to an admin. By the way I have just gone through [[WP:NPOV]]. It says that it can have views from reliable sources. Dont you think NDTV is reliable? Please discuss.
*First off, Prodego is a sysop (system operator/administrator) and he finds my reasoning correct. But for the sake of arguing:
:The thing about 7 FilmFare awards - he may be the only Telugu film actor to have received 7 Filmfare awards, but he is not the only '''Indian''' actor to have received 7 filmfare awards. That is what this article _used_ to say, so that's what my previous post was complaining about. I do not challenge the current statement, though.
:His popularity is mentioned twice. I removed the second mention that Chiranjeevi is popular. Hell, I even question the first one...
:BTW, the word '''only''' should not be bolded in the first paragraph. I unbolded it.
:As far as the NPOV thing - NDTV's views should be expressed '''without bias'''. Bias includes using words like '''legendary''', '''matinee idol''', '''super hit''', and so on as these have no factual basis and can easily be challenged. What happens when an ordinary user who happens to think that Chiranjeevi is a terrible actor reads this article? [[User:GSMR|GSMR]] ([[User talk:GSMR|talk]]) 21:50, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


Its quite amusing to see your desperation to disprove chiranjeevi's popularity ( I get this by your statement "Hell, I even question the first one..."). You feel that if NDTV says chiranjeevi is a telugu cinema matinee idol is baised?? Oh my God where do you get these great ideas from? haha. See dude looks like you live here (on this article) I don't want to argue with you. There are even people who think Gandhi is not even a human but that doesn't mean that you don't call him Mahatma. There will always be differences of opinions on every issue and every person. May be you will have some great point for this too. I would like to see your excellent craftmanship for [[Nandamuri Balakrishna]] article too. I bet you wont touch it.

By the way Prodego may not even know who chiranjeevi is or what NDTV is probabaly he is not from Andhra Pradesh (India). <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Alexander227|Alexander227]] ([[User talk:Alexander227|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Alexander227|contribs]]) 11:25, 25 December 2008 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
* I am not arguing his popularity. I am arguing that this is an encyclopedia article and is not the proper place to reflect your, or NDTV's bias. Yes, it is biased to use words like that in an article. You say there will always be different opinions, that is exactly the point. That's why articles should be neutral.

:I do not "live" on this article, I am just determined to make it look better. Don't you want Chiranjeevi to have a decent, well-written Wikipedia article? And I looked at the Nandamuri Balakrishna article, there are countless things wrong with that one too. [[User:GSMR|GSMR]] ([[User talk:GSMR|talk]]) 15:29, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

== Red links ==

[[WP:RED]]
I have removed several red links from this article because no one seems to have bothered to have created articles for them, as one should shortly after they add a red link to an article. There, doesn't it look so much nicer now? [[User:GSMR|GSMR]] ([[User talk:GSMR|talk]]) 20:38, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

== Rewrite ==

I am going add the 'cleanup-section' tag to the politics section. "The new political entrant in Andhra Pradesh Chiranjeevi has decided to show his body strength to his political rivals. "... sentenses like that do not comply with Wiki standards, unless you can fidn a viable reference to support such statements. The whole section is full of such things. Dont remove the tab without discusing it here first. [[User:Prabhodh|Prabhodh]] ([[User talk:Prabhodh|talk]]) 09:15, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I am sorry but I don't agree with that. There is nothing boastful about it. "Body strength" clearly means that a newly formed party would like to show it's popularity, that doesn't mean that he is from the sky or something. Please discuss. [[Alexander227]]

Hey. Umm, body strength doesn't clearly mean anything like that. You have to understand that this is a website that is viewed by everyone on earth. So, it needs to remain objective.. showing his body strength could well have been written as a metaphor, but Wiki isn't the place for such writing. And the main problem with the section is that 4/5 of it isn't referenced, and the references provided are questionable. I Think the rest of the article is doing quite well compared to its earlier state and if we fix this up it'll be a lot better. [[User:Prabhodh|Prabhodh]] ([[User talk:Prabhodh|talk]]) 23:41, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
* I agree, this article has seen a lot of improvement since I last looked at it. However, badly written and non-encyclopedic material is still present in this article. It doesn't really need a full rewrite, I'd say - maybe just some cleanup and rewording? [[User:GSMR|GSMR]] ([[User talk:GSMR|talk]]) 02:52, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Yep, a little cleaning, a little deleting and a little rewording. I'm being a bit lazy atm, it'll get there eventually. And can this article somehow be locked so that only registered members can edit it, that would sort out most of the crap that gets deleted again an again.[[User:Prabhodh|Prabhodh]] ([[User talk:Prabhodh|talk]]) 02:44, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I've cleaned the section and removed the tag. If anyone has a problem with the changes let me know.[[User:Prabhodh|Prabhodh]] ([[User talk:Prabhodh|talk]]) 04:33, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


==National Awards==

Chiranjeevi acted in the film Rudraveena, which won the Nargis Dutt Award for Best film on National Integration. However, Chiranjeevi was not the producer for this film and hence the award cannot be listed in his personal awards section. Therefore, I have removed the National Awards from his Awards section.

* Cool, fine with me. [[User:Prabhodh|Prabhodh]] ([[User talk:Prabhodh|talk]]) 22:38, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Dude...Prabhodh...Chiranjeevi is infact the producer of Rudraveena, and he did accept the Nargis Dutt Award for Best film on National Integration that year.

== Life-time box office collections ==

Is there any website that reports box office collections of Telugu films like [http://www.ibosnetwork.com/asp/topgrossersbyyear.asp?year=1992 this]? In tamil, Rajini and Kamal are the only heroes whose life-time box office collections exceed $100 million. In Hindi, there are five heroes now in this rank - Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. Is Chiranjeevi in that rank? [[User:Anwar saadat|Anwar]] ([[User talk:Anwar saadat|talk]]) 17:38, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello Anwar. Chiru is definitely in that rank. Because he is been the superstar of telugu film industry for over 2 decades now and he also has been delivering consistent block busters every now and then. He has huge fan following in other states and even in overseas too. Most of the people would agree with my opinion. Unfortunately tehre is no reliable box office website for telugu film industry that reports unbiased box office collections. Hope that helps.

== want to add some things ==

There are sections named "actor to megastar", "Bigger than Bachchan", "Return to Success". May be they all should be subsections in one big section named "Acting Career" and subsections should be renamed to convery the proper meaning.

Instead of actor to megastar, may be we can say "Rise to Success". They just don't sound like they should be in encyclopedia article. Its like they directly picked from newspapers or written by a passionate fan.

where ever, its being said that his film is a blockbuster or a major success or failure, we should have few sources so that it is not questioned by others. Sections like personal life, politics can be expanded.

I just wanted to add one more thing. I surf internet regularly (for 6 years almost), i appreciated powerful thing like google but wikipedia is greatest thing that ever happened to internet. the sheer amount knowledge wikipedia spreading to rest of the world is simply amazing. The neutral point of view on wikipedia is just splendid, something which no encyclopedia, no organisation can easily achieve. Its already the worlds largest encyclopedia, i hope it becomes worlds largest library which Zetabytes of information read by billions of people around the world without paying anything. Wiki uses power of masses to achieve this, i love anything which does that.

17 lakh people. You got to be kidding around here. This is too comical. Do you have a proper proof of citation for 17 lakh? This guy drew hardly 5-6 lakhs for that Tirupathi meeting.


Well it is round 10-Lakhs.. Here is the citation: http://www.hindustantimes.com/Tirupati-premiere-for-Chiranjeevi-s-party/Article1-333869.aspx. ----- Abhi

== Popularity ==
In September 1992, The Week magazine ran a cover story on Chiranjeevi titled – Bigger than Bachchan
as he was paid 1.25 crore (US$0.28 million) and also the highest paid actor in Indian cinema.
first indian actor who crossed 1 crore.
Chiranjeevi introduced breakdancing to the Indian audience.

Can anyone clarify this to me. How can chiranjeevi introduce break dance to WHOLE Indian Audience? If so Please cite refernces.

In an era, when fights looked childish to the audience, Chiranjeevi introduced fights in a systematic and stylish way and his dances and fights were a treat to the public.

Can anyone Cite reference to this?

Chiranjeevi was not just a great actor but a pioneer in many ways who set benchmarks for many other actors.

Can anyone Cite reference to this?


Chiranjeevi was a perfectionist and had no competition during his reign at the top.

Can anyone Cite reference to this?


Once actor Nagarjuna remarked that Chiranjeevi was not only particular about perfection in the scenes which involved him but wanted perfection in scenes which involved others in the movie which is a rarity.

Can anyone Cite reference to this?

According to Venkatesh, who himelf is a leading actor he said that Chiranjeevi has been the undisputed number one since 1987 till his retirement and it is difficult to imagine that a actor can consistently deliver hits for over 25 years.

== Title Names - imitation and duplications in Wikipedia Pages ==

I have been going through the mythological sections to know who were famous 'sapta chiranjeevi' (seven immortal souls of earth) and I found it here <http://www.indiadivine.org/audarya/sri-vaishnava-forum/706780-sapta-chiranjeevi.html> but partial. They are "aSvatHAma bali: vyAsa: hanumAn cha vibhIshaNa: krupa: paraSurAmaScha saptaitE chiranjIvina:. But,Wikipedia mislead me just like a lot of new commercial Movies with the same name mentioned in the Mythology. It is a bad reputation to Wikipedia. For example, if one searches for "Jupiter", he should get the Planet Jupiter first or the Roman God Jupiter, instead of a local citizen or artist named as 'Jupiter'. Here I go a series of sites from <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiranjeevi> related to a film actor, (who acts for an earning - which was considered as very low standard in every ancient civilizations of the world). This part of Wikipedia should be improved, a suggestion is to add Mr. or Mrs. or other title to the new generation names, like "Chiranjeevi, Mr.). Sir, As you are aware, the Title of the Wiki page is very important and impartial, may the new generation be different, the ancestry is more important. - Regards - m varma / Ernakulam / Kerala. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Mvarma10|Mvarma10]] ([[User talk:Mvarma10|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mvarma10|contribs]]) 03:35, 1 September 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:I'm sorry, but that's now how Wikipedia works. Articles go first to the most commonly used subject of that name.

Name in lead

[edit]

Shouldn't it read as Konidela Siva Sankara Vara Prasad (born ...), better known by his stage name Chiranjeevi, ...; instead of the existing notation? MOS:FULLNAME or did he change his name legally? MOS:CHANGEDNAME -- DaxServer (talk) 12:51, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DaxServer, he has held a ministerial post with the name Chiranjeevi, so MOS:CHANGEDNAME applies. For other cases such as Ravi Teja where there is no legal name change, MOS:STAGENAME is followed. Ab207 (talk) 13:22, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Since, it is by definition a populist survey and doesn't carry much merit. I propose to remove it or move it down to appropriate article section. -- DaxServer (talk) 12:53, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why I was mentioned above by 49.207.203.71. I've never edited this article nor its talk page. Regardless, in my opinion the poll is irrelevant and of no use to the article. It shouldn't just be moved, it should be removed. An award from a notable organization is one thing. A poll? Sorry, no. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:05, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
