Chiranjeevi is currently blessed with several good, big-budget movies. One of the many is with director Bobby, tentatively titled Mega 154. On Women's Day, which was on January 8, makers welcomed Shruti Haasan as the film's leading lady.

Chiranjeevi also has films like 'Bholaa Shankar' with Meher Ramesh and 'Godfather' with director Mohan Raja, both remakes of Vedalam and Lucifer, respectively. Also, Chiranjeevi is currently awaiting the release of Acharya, which is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on April 29.

A few hours ago, Chiranjeevi, known for his social cause, took to Twitter to laud the efforts of the Indian doctor who refused to leave Ukraine without his pet jaguar and panther. As India evacuates its citizens from the war zone of Ukraine, we have seen many examples where the people denied flying without their pets. The stories have warmed people's hearts as pets are also part of the family.

In a note, Chiranjeevi wrote, "Dear Dr. Giri Kumar Patil, I am delighted and touched to learn that you love for Jaguars and Panthers was inspired by me. It is truly heartening that you are not willing to leave them behind during this unfortunate war time and are choosing to stay back in Ukraine for the sake of care giving to your pet Panther and Jaguar. You compassion and love for these wonderful creatures is highly admirable. I pray for your safety during this challenging period and wish the war ends soon and normalcy is restored at the earliest. Meanwhile please stay safe and look after your pets. God Bless! Chiranjeevi."
