Meka Srikanth, Dilip Prabhavalkar, and Sayaji Shinde were part of the project.
In 2022, Prabhu Deva choreographed the song Thaar Maar Thakkar Maar featuring Chiranjeevi and Salman Khan in the film God Father. The track became immensely popular and garnered praise from fans and critics alike.
Meanwhile, the Government of India honoured Chiranjeevi with the Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian award in the country. After receiving the honour, Chiranjeevi thanked the government, his fans and well-wishers for supporting his endeavours.
In a video, shared on X (formerly Twitter), he said, “After hearing this news, I became speechless. I am really overwhelmed. I am humbled and grateful for this honour. It’s only the unconditional and invaluable love of the people, audience, my fans, my blood-brothers and blood-sisters that allow me to reach here. I owe my life and this moment to you. I always try to express my gratitude the way I can though I know I can never do enough. On screen, the last 45 years of my film career, I have tried to entertain you in the best of my abilities. And off-screen, I try to help the needy by taking up relevant and social humanitarian causes from time to time.”
