Senior stars Chiranjeevi, Rajinikanth and Balakrishna are currently busy with back-to-back projects, with Chiranjeevi working on “Kaaka”, Rajinikanth on “Jailer 2” and “Dharman”, and Balakrishna on “Dada”.
However, their recent public appearances and social media pictures have triggered fresh discussion among fans and movie circles. Despite advancing age, all three actors continue to maintain hectic schedules and complete films at a brisk pace.
Chiranjeevi was recently seen at the Sigma event, where his slow walk with support caught the attention of many. The visuals quickly became a talking point online, with some people speculating that his strict diet and changing fitness routine could be putting additional pressure on his physical system.
Meanwhile, recent pictures of Balakrishna circulating on social media have also attracted attention. He appeared noticeably heavier and somewhat different from his usual screen appearance, leading to comments about his physical transformation. Naturally, fans are now curious about how Balakrishna could be able to attend shoots and complete the work with this post-surgical weakness and unusual shape.
These stars continue to complete films despite the demanding schedules involved in senior-hero projects. With action sequences, long shooting days and physically challenging scenes, the use of body doubles can sometimes be part of filmmaking. Whether that is happening extensively in these projects, however, remains unclear.
But both films are progressing on time as per the current status, raising suspicions that the directors may be carrying on with the work even without the senior heroes being present on the sets all the time.
