Actor Chiranjeevi Who Plays Waltair Veerayya Discusses Why He Doesn't Feature In Non-Commercial Films

Chiranjeevi makes a comeback with his preferred type of masala entertainers on the big screen, and one of his first movies in 2023 will be released in January. We are discussing Waltair Veerayya, which is already getting a lot of attention. In reality, the Ravi Teja and Shruti Haasan-starring film will be released in Hindi alongside the original. In a recent press conference held to promote this action comedy, the Telugu superstar explained why he no longer does experimental or offbeat movies and why he loves commercial cinema.

In a recent press conference, Chiranjeevi admitted that he now prefers to take on roles that viewers enjoy and await seeing him in. “I no longer want to do what I want to do. I want to give what my audience wants from me. SP Balu garu (S. P. Balasubrahmanyam) would ask me why I keep doing only certain kinds of films. I told him that even I have a desire for doing different types of films and that was the reason why I did Rudraveena, Aapadbandhavudu, and Swayam Krushi. But, the producers of such films were under huge pressure. By doing such films, I could win awards and appreciation, but if those films don’t entertain a larger number of audiences”, he said. “I don’t think it’s fair. When so many people love me, I have to justify their affection by doing films that entertain them. And you may think that I’m doing only monotonous films, mass films, despite my talent. But, I will only do films for my fans,” he added. Readers are likely well aware that Chiranjeevi stars as the hero in Waltair Veerayya. Ravi Teja will play a crucial role as Veerayya, a cop. Shruti Haasan will play Chiru's romantic lead. The movie is being directed by Bobby, aka KS Ravindra. It is scheduled to be released on January 13 in honor of Makar Sankranti.
