Chiranjeevi is the Amitabh Bachchan of Telugu filmdom. His appeal is, in fact, even bigger and emotional.
So when his son Ramcharan Teja was recently formally inducted into films, the talk has inevitably centered around to the Bachchan Junior.
So the big question is whether Ramcharan can become what Abhishek has become in Telugu?
Tough question really and a bit premature too. But the young and handsome Ramcharan is aware of the responsibility that come with the territory.
He understands that he will obviously be compared to Chiru. Chiru is of course a tough act to emulate. Then there will the drawing parallels with Abhi.
Abhi has become a star in his own right after much struggle.
So Ramcharan's camp suggests that people should wait and watch and not jump to any hasty conclusions. The good thing about it all is that Ramcharan himself well aware of what is expected of him.
But Ramcharan is also equally realistic about what can be done. 'Patience and perseverance is the key,' he says very realistically.
With such qualities, he can sure go places.
