MEGA Legacy: Father and Son Set Record Milestone!

In a rare and remarkable feat in Telugu cinema, a father and son have rewritten the record books with the biggest solo blockbusters of their respective careers.

Megastar Chiranjeevi and his son, Mega Power Star Ram Charan, have achieved an unprecedented milestone by delivering the two highest-grossing South Indian films of the year.

Chiranjeevi’s previous outing, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, emerged as a massive blockbuster, collecting over 300 crore gross and becoming South India’s highest-grossing film of 2026.

Now, Ram Charan has surpassed that benchmark with his latest sensation Peddi. The film has crossed the lifetime collections of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, entered the prestigious 300 crore club, and emerged as the highest-grossing South Indian film of the year.

What makes this achievement even more extraordinary is that the year’s top two highest-grossing films belong to a father and son duo, something never witnessed before in Indian cinema.

While Chiranjeevi’s film, directed by Anil Ravipudi, captivated audiences as a wholesome entertainer during the Sankranthi season, Ram Charan’s Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, struck a chord as an inspiring rural sports drama released towards the end of the summer season.

Throughout his illustrious career spanning several decades, Chiranjeevi has delivered numerous blockbusters and industry hits while also experimenting with path-breaking stories and socially relevant cinema.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Ram Charan has consistently balanced commercial appeal with strong content-driven storytelling.

After the landmark success of Rangasthalam, Charan has once again earned widespread acclaim for his stunning transformation and career-best performance in Peddi.

With both father and son scaling new heights simultaneously, the Mega legacy continues to set new benchmarks at the box office.
