Chiru's 150th film and political entry!

Megastar Chiranjeevi's highly-anticipated entry into politics can definitely bring a change in the trend of state politics itself. It remains a perennial dilemma as to - When will it happen? Undoubtedly, the Megastar of Tollywood has secured a place in the hearts of the Telugu community all over the world by contributing his mite in the fight against social evils like corruption and bribery, albeit through films like his blockbuster Tagore. His off-screen activities of setting up blood bank and mobilizing people to donate their eyes have also won appreciation.
Things began to work wonders for Chiranjeevi with his mass-films like Mutha Mestri and Indra. People started idolizing him off-screen too. This is just not because of the immense screen presence that he has on the silver screen, but the good deeds he has initiated to help the poor and down-trodden. Equipped with traits like kindness, generosity and benevolence, he is largely viewed as potential politician in the making. But when will he make the crucial move?
A good chunk of state population, be it his fans or general public, strongly feel that politics is certainly not the place for Chiranjeevi. They oppose the idea of his joining politics which is full of dirt and slush. He should continue his benevolence without expecting anything in return. He would only belittle himself by making an entry into politics, the observation goes.
At the same time, another viewpoint - The present day politicians have reduced themselves into rabble-rousers. In this age of degeneration of politics, entry of someone like Chiranjeevi could be the best thing to happen to the State's political scenario. Drawing inspiration from his hits, Chiranjeevi should take the plunge and commit himself to the welfare of the have-nots. A hero like him would sure do a good job of fighting corruption in the society.
Chiranjeevi continues to be tight lipped about his political ambitions. There were statements and counter-statements by the leaders of the backward class segments. Some said they had met the megastar and convinced him to spearhead the agitation. The other group counters it saying, "Nobody has met him."
A few options through which we can study the stalemate: Firstly, his supporters want Chiranjeevi to start his own political party and not join any political group. Immediately, there is an argument. It is too late to start a political party and it would be difficult to nurture it to a booming contender for the 2009 state elections. Equally negating this, the observation goes; there is no anti-establishment wave in the state. The opposition Telugu Desam Party too is criticized as not being effective in this direction. At this juncture, can the Megastar's foray work out?
A good stretch of time had elapsed after Lok Satta convener Jayaprakash Narayan expressing his views: "If Chiranjeevi wants to join Lok Satta, we welcome it." But, who will steer the ship? It's convener or Megastar? Such being the case, Chiranjeevi can't be viewed as the sidekick in Lok Satta. Dasari Narayana Rao might play a vital role in guiding the political campaign of Chiranjeevi. If it happens, the doyen has no other go, but to join the megastar's sides or else pull the latter into the Congress Party. Will it happen?
Chiranjeevi's latest film Shankar Dada Zindabad is a washout and is classified as his biggest box office disaster. His wife Surekha is likely to produce Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy(tentatively titled film on Rayalaseema's first freedom fighter against the British) as Chiru's 150th film. If this has to happen, it would be somewhere next year. Can this mean – Chiru is confident of tilting state politics with his 150 th movie, months before state assembly elections?
