Chiranjeevi to return to acting

"I will act in a film again. It will begin early next year. We are currently searching for a good script," the actor-politician announced at the PRP state headquarters here this afternoon.

"We have a script in hand but we are looking for something better. The film will be a mix of entertainment and social consciousness. It will be a wholesome family film," Chiranjeevi added.

When asked if he would dance with heroines in the film, he replied, "Yes, why not." The project will be his 150th film in a career that has spanned over 32 years.

The Telugu star quit films in August 2008 to launch PRP. Even during the launch of the party Chiranjeevi maintained that he might act in films in the future. Very recently, Chiranjeevi expressed his desire to make a re-appearance on the silver screen.

It was at the audio release function of Rajinikanth's 'Robot' in Hyderabad that Chiranjeevi revealed his desire to do a movie again. "When Rajini does a film like Robot, it inspires people like to me to venture something similar. Moreover, it had been my dream to work with a brilliant director like Shankar. If Shankar says yes, I am ready,"

Chiranjeevi had said at that function. His youngest brother and actor Pavan Kalyan too had publicly requested Chiranjeevi to "do one more film".

Upcoming actor and Chiranjeevi's son Ram Charan Teja had announced on August 22 (Chiranjeevi's birthday) that he will be producing a film with his father before the end of 2011.
