Chiranjeevi and Dhanush
Chiranjeevi graced the success event of the recently released film 'Kuberaa' directed by Sekhar Kammula. The film that stars the likes of Nagarjuna, Dhanush and Rashmika Mandanna has received largely positive reviews and has had a successful run at the box office. To celebrate the same, the team of Kuberaa gathered together to celebrate at an event in Hyderabad. Chiranjeevi was all praise for Dhanush while talking about the film at the event.
Stating that he could not imagine anyone else other than Dhanush playing the character of Deva in director Sekhar Kammula's recently released 'Kuberaa', Telugu Mega Star Chiranjeevi has said that Dhanush must get the National Award for Best actor for his performance in the film.
"Nobody else could have done the character of Deva other than Dhanush. I couldn't recognize Dhanush initially while watching the movie. He seemed so involved in the character. I see this movie as an experience rather than a film. It felt like it was happening in real life," said Chiranjeevi.
