Chiranjeevi, often hailed as the superhero megastar of Indian cinema, will be recognized for his remarkable contributions to the industry. The honor comes in light of his receipt of the Padma Vibhushan, one of India’s highest civilian awards, a testament to his enduring influence and significant impact on Indian cinema over the decades.
Andre Timmins expressed his pride in celebrating Chiranjeevi’s incredible legacy, saying, “We are immensely honored to recognize Megastar Chiranjeevi with the ‘Outstanding Achievement in Indian Cinema’ award at IIFA Utsavam. His unparalleled dedication to the art of cinema, exemplified by his Padma Vibhushan, highlights a career filled with versatility, passion, and an unwavering commitment to his craft. Chiranjeevi’s presence at IIFA Utsavam is a celebration of South Indian cinema’s richness, and we look forward to honoring his extraordinary journey.”
Chiranjeevi, deeply moved by this recognition, shared, “I am truly humbled by this honor from IIFA Utsavam. It has been an incredible journey spanning five decades, and I am forever grateful for the love and support of my fans and the film fraternity. This award is a reflection of the affection I’ve received, and I strive to give back through my work both on-screen and through my humanitarian efforts off-screen. It is my belief that cinema and social causes go hand in hand, and I remain dedicated to making a positive impact.”
Adding to the excitement, the legendary Telugu star Nandamuri Balakrishna, known as the ‘Action King,’ will also be attending IIFA Festival 2024 to mark 50 years of cinematic excellence in the Telugu film industry. The 24th edition of the IIFA Festival promises to be a dazzling showcase, bringing together superstars across five iconic industries to celebrate the best of Indian cinema.
