With the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections currently underway, both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are abuzz with people flocking to their assigned polling stations to exercise their franchise in the biggest festival of democracy. Along with lakhs of citizens, Telugu film stars have also been making a beeline for polling booths.
Now, photos and videos of the Tollywood A-listers arriving to cast their votes have gone viral. Among the biggies who have already exercised their franchise are Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi, celebrated director SS Rajamouli, Oscar-winning music composer MM Keeravani, “Power Star” Pawan Kalyan, National Award-winning actor Allu Arjun, Telugu star NTR Jr, filmmaker Teja, and actors Srikanth, Manchu Manoj and Kota Srinivasa Rao, among others.
After casting his vote in Hyderabad, along with his wife Surekha Konidela, Chiranjeevi spoke to the media and urged citizens to practice their voting rights without fail. “You have to vote because you are in a democracy. I request people to exercise their right to vote. Please come and make use of your power,” the Padma Vibhushan awardee requested.
