The occasion is a Chiranjeevi release, the first in nearly a decade. Chiranjeevi’s son K Ram Charan, whose film had to make way for his father’s, is the producer of Khaidi No. So everyone is eagerly waiting,” says Vijay Bonpalli of the Chiranjeevi Fans Club, Hyderabad. While Chiranjeevi’s party had won 18 seats in the 2009 Andhra Assembly elections, in February 2011, he merged the PRP with the Congress. While the film is being projected as his 150th, it is technically his 145th, with guest appearences in five others.
