Megastar Chiranjeevi took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to pay tribute to former Telugu superstar and CM of undivided Andhra Pradesh NT Rama Rao on his 101st birth anniversary. Sharing a throwback picture with the Telugu icon, Chiranjeevi asked the central government to honour NTR, who continues to be a hero among the masses of the two Telugu states, with the Bharat Ratna.
Chiranjeevi wrote, “The fame of some is immortal. He is an eternal example for future generations. Remembering Nandamuri Tarak Rama Rao today. I think the Bharat Ratna award is a fitting tribute to his services in public life. I hope that the central government will heed this long-standing wish of the Telugu people (sic).”
కొందరి కీర్తి అజరామరం. తరతరాలు శాశ్వతం. భావితరాలకు ఆదర్శం. నందమూరి తారక రామారావు గారిని ఈ రోజు గుర్తుచేసుకుంటూ, వారు ప్రజా జీవితంలో చేసిన సేవలకు భారతరత్న పురస్కారం సముచిత గౌరవం అని భావిస్తున్నాను. తెలుగు వారి ఈ చిరకాల కోరికని కేంద్ర ప్రభుత్వం తప్పక మన్నిస్తుందని ఆశిస్తున్నాను.… pic.twitter.com/YFtWPKKW8n

NT Rama Roa, who served as CM of Andhra Pradesh for seven years in three terms, started off his career as an actor. He is one among many politicians who hailed from a cinema background like MG Ramachandran, J Jayalalithaa, and Karunanidhi in Tamil Nadu.
Notably, only this year, the Indian government honoured Chiranjeevi with the Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian award in India.
Meanwhile, Jr NTR, who is busy with the production of Devara: Part 1, visited the grave of his grandfather and paid tribute to the Telugu icon. He was accompanied by his half-brother Nandamuri Kalyan Ram.

NTR, who has acted in more than 300 films, has won multiple National Awards. He is well-known for playing Hindu gods like Krishna, which was one of the reasons for his larger-than-life persona, which helped him with his political aspirations. The actor-politician passed away in 1996 at his residence in Hyderabad due to a heart attack aged 72.
