You know why Chiru Garu because this country and its citizens are very powerful, Vande Mataram.” Alongside the video, Salman Khan wrote, “#Godfather @alwaysramcharan @chiranjeevikonidela."
Chiranjeevi claimed at a press conference in Mumbai that he asked Salman Khan to be in GodFather, to which Salman replied, "Don't request and all, just tell." He instructed him to watch Lucifer before deciding whether or not to join GodFather. “He said don’t request, tell me, All these things happened in ten minutes. At that time, I felt this film is going to be a hit. I felt very happy he was giving (dates) whenever we asked because of other problems we could not make use of his dates. He is a cooperative (man). There is a heartfelt thing and I am indebted to lifetime to you Sallu,” he remarked.
Chiranjeevi also stated that Salman Khan did not charge a fee for his appearance. . “When my producers went to hand over the big cheque to him, the manager went inside and at the same speed, he came out and said I don’t want to take this. He said that the producer wants to buy my love and affection towards Chiranjeevi at this price. I am doing it for love and affection and he is showering that on me. Who else has big heart than him?” he said.
“It is not a question about heart. It is a question of love for cinema that you have, I have”, Salman responded.
