Meet actor who gave three disasters back to back, yet his fee was more than Amitabh Bachchan, has net worth of Rs 1650 crore
There are many such actors in the film industry, who have made a tremendous identity for themselves in the industry and among their fans on the basis of their strong acting. But there have also been such actors, who worked hard but failed to make a mark. Today we are going to tell you about one such mega flop actor of Bollywood, whose fees were more than the superstar of the century Amitabh Bachchan, but despite this, he could not give a single hit and today he has disappeared from Bollywood. He never achieved the position in Bollywood that he had desired when he started his career. But as soon as he stepped into South cinema, his luck changed and he became a megastar in South. We are talking about Chiranjeevi, the soul of South cinema. He worked in only 3 films in Bollywood – 'Pratibandh', 'Aaj Ka Gundaraj' and 'The Gentleman'. But all three films proved to be big flops at the box office, which made him a flop hero of Bollywood, but he got tremendous recognition in South. His identity could not be strengthened in Hindi films, but he won the hearts of people in the South industry with his strong acting and style. He became so popular there that people started treating him like God. Chiranjeevi had a series of hit films in the 90s. He gave 14 superhit films in that era, which made him the biggest superstar of the South. Not only this, his popularity increased so much at that time that he was considered equal to Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan. According to reports, today Chiranjeevi charges up to 70 crores for a film. If we talk about his total net worth, it is said to be around 1650 crores. At the same time, the total net worth of his Konidela family is believed to be around 4000 crores. He has become not just an actor but an icon. He has proved that if there is hard work and dedication, then one can make a mark in any industry. The love and status that South Cinema gave him is no less than a dream.
