Megastar Chiranjeevi played Psychiatrist recently. No he did not play the role of a psychiatrist in a movie but in real life.
It is well known that Chiru and Srikanth are the best of friends. Or should we say, more like brothers. Chiranjeevi has great love for Sriknath and in turn Sriknath has the highest regard and admiration for Chiranjeevi.
Srikanth was in a depression some time back following a string of flops. Srikanth was so dejected that he refused to move out of his house and meet people. Chiranjeevi then called up Srikanth and counseled him. He spoke to Srikanth about life and how there are always ups and down in life. Chiru asked Srikanth to take both success and failure in his stride. And Chiru’s counseling has done wonders – look how Srikanth has bounced back and his recent films are a testimony to this.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAILURE OF “SHANKAR DADA ZINDABAD” ? 2007-08-09 07:28:00
Guess who is the happiest man before release and upset and disheartened after the release of Mega Star’s &ldquo
;Shankardada Zindabad&rdquo
;? Well, it is choreographer turned director Prabhu Deva. He had seen beaming with joy when he got an opportunity to direct Chiranjeevi. The movie released with a fanfare and lots of hungama but didn’t get the expected response from public. There are many reasons and some are pointing their finger to Prabudeva.”I couldn’t recreate another wonder like my previous hit film but I did my best”, confesses the scapegoat of the whole issue to his close associates.
The fact is that the Gemini Film Circuit didn’t brother to do any publicity for the film. No promo is being shown in TV channels and even the stills of the film are very less. “The sole reason for the failure of SDZ is lack of publicity”, affirmed a trade pundit. Hopefully the mater will end here and people will take notice.
