The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has changed the normal course of life for almost everyone on the planet. During the lockdown, actioned by the Central and State Governments, a number of industries and work sectors have come to grinding halt. The same is true in our very own Telugu Film Industry (Tollywood). This has increased the celebrity presence in social media. The latest being the Be The Real Man Challenge started off on Twitter.
It is very pleasing to see that the celebrities make efforts to spread cheer amongst social media netizens. Right from personal messages. to group songs, to small skits, they are crafting small videos. Ranging from the Janata Curfew movement to the “stay at home” lockdown, many of the glitterati have contributed their bit.
This latest challenge, Be The Real Man, is getting a number of the Tollywood male film celebs to showcase the household chores they are undertaking. Gone are any starry inhibitions, as the people who run the reel life are helping at home in real life. Tollywood male celebs have even made a challenge out of it by nominating their fellow artists.
Tollywood Megastar Chiranjeevi accepted the Be the Real Man challenge for NTR Jr. In his video. Even Telugu hero Venkatesh, who was challenged by NTR Jr., had expressed his keenness on seeing Chiranjeevi’s response. Chiru is seen cleaning his house with a vacuum cleaner. After which he prepares a dosa / pessarattu, something the Megastar is known to make really well. This he lovingly feeds his mother, Anjana Devi. In the tweet, the Megastar then challenged Telangana State Minister, KT Rama Rao (KTR), Tamil Superstar Rajnikanth and ace filmmaker, Mani Ratnam.
