Last year, the actor had a minor scare when he was tested positive for Coronavirus. But it turned out that the test report was incorrect. “A group of doctors did three different tests and concluded that I am Covid negative and that the earlier result was due to a faulty RT PCR kit,” said Chiranjeevi.

In a past interview to Cinema Express, the actor spoke about his learnings. He had said, “Initially, I was too attached to the success or failure of a film. It took me 20 years to realise that I hold accountability for neither. I still remember one incident that happened after the release of Kodama Simham (1990) and Pratibandh (1990). Friends from the industry visited to see how I was celebrating the stupendous success of both films, but they were shocked to see me dressed in a lungi, reading a book. I behaved simply like the mother of a newborn. Each film is like a baby, but I have learned to balance my emotions. Today, after years, I am immune to success and failure.”

On being asked if he would like to see his biopic getting made, he had said, “My journey has given hope to many an actor. Every aspiring actor wants to be a Chiranjeevi, and I’m heartwarmed by that. I am working on my autobiography and planning to bring out a documentary with personal anecdotes. As for a biopic, I am not sure my life has enough twists to make it interesting.”
