Chiranjeevi Mass Speech At Operation Valentine Pre Release Event

Baahubali: The Beginning remains a landmark in Indian cinema, particularly for how it reshaped the global perception of Telugu films. As the magnum opus marked its ten-year anniversary, the cast and crew came together last night to celebrate the historic milestone. However, fans couldn’t help but notice the absence of two key stars — Anushka Shetty and Tamannah Bhatia — which stirred considerable buzz on social media.

Anushka’s absence, in particular, left many fans deeply disappointed. Social media was flooded with emotional messages, as admirers eagerly anticipated a reunion between Anushka and Prabhas — one of the most beloved on-screen pairs across Indian cinema. Fans expressed their sentiments online, tagging the actress and voicing their concern.

Adding to the growing concern is Anushka’s recent low public visibility. Her latest film Ghaati, which was slated for release today, was unexpectedly postponed just days before its scheduled date. The sudden announcement further disheartened fans, who were looking forward to her return to the limelight — especially through promotional activities.

The reasons for her absence from public events and celebrations remain unclear. With Ghaati awaiting release and other projects reportedly in production, fans are hoping to see more of their favorite actress. While some speculate that Anushka might be staying away due to past body image criticism — a topic that surfaced prominently after her role in Size Zero — it’s worth noting that she has delivered successful performances even after that phase.

Given her enduring popularity and loyal fan base, admirers believe that it’s time for Anushka to step back into the spotlight. Her presence continues to be missed, not just in films, but also at major milestones that celebrate Telugu cinema’s growth — milestones she helped create.
