When the promo for the song “Meesala Pilla” was released, I noticed some online criticism and even heard people around me say that Chiranjeevi is not evolving like other legends such as Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Mammootty, and Mohanlal, who now choose roles that suit their age instead of playing youthful characters chasing romance and dancing. At that moment, I found myself agreeing with that perspective.
But after watching the full lyrical video of the song, my opinion changed — and there’s a reason for it.
For the past 47 years, Chiranjeevi has been an electrifying dancer. Generations have enjoyed his moves, and dancing has always been his unique selling point (USP), keeping him ahead of his contemporaries. Sure, his comic timing, fight sequences, and acting skills are impressive, but they all come secondary to his unmatched dancing prowess.
Legends like Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Mammootty, and Mohanlal act according to their age, but fans don’t expect them to dance because that was never their core strength. Rajinikanth, for instance, is celebrated for his signature style — flipping a cigarette or wearing sunglasses — which doesn’t depend on age.
For someone like Chiranjeevi, however, dancing gracefully often requires a love track and a youthful energy. To deliver that magic, he has to “age down” and portray characters younger than his real age. Audiences simply cannot separate Chiranjeevi from dance.
This means that while dance and humor are his greatest strengths, they also limit him from fully transitioning into age-appropriate roles. Chiranjeevi has indeed tried roles that match his age, but fan expectations and his legacy keep pulling him back to dance — because that is what people want to see.
Watching “Meesala Pilla”, I was captivated by his graceful moves and electrifying steps. I hope to see Chiranjeevi dancing for many more years to come. And even if it becomes physically challenging, I trust technology will help him continue delivering the magic. He will forever be remembered as the Dancing King, the God of Masses, and the ultimate family entertainer.
