In what could be one of the biggest achievements in his illustrious career by adding another feather in his cap, Megastar Chiranjeevi from Tollywood entered the coveted Guinness World Records for his impressive dance moves in the last four decades. The announcement was made during an event in Hyderabad on Sunday evening and Bollywood actor Aamir Khan attended it as a chief guest.
Chiranjeevi has been honoured by Guinness World Records as the most prolific film star of the country. He performed over 24,000 dance moves in 537 songs across 156 films over his 45-year career, a rare feat and remarkable achievement that brings immense pride to Telugu cinema and the Indian film industry.
Guinness World Records adjudicator Richard Stenning extolled Chiranjeevi’s extraordinary contribution. He said “After thoroughly reviewing all 156 films and his dance performances, we found this achievement to be officially amazing.”
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, the chief guest at the event, shared his admiration, stating, “I am honored to witness this historic moment. Like millions of his fans, I am also a die-hard admirer of Chiranjeevi. He didn’t need to invite me—he could have just commanded my presence. One move from Chiranjeevi is enough to electrify audiences. His inspiration reaches far and wide, even beyond India.”
Talking about Chiranjeevi’s dancing prowess, Aamir gushed, “If you see any of his songs, his own heart is into it. He is enjoying himself. Our eyes just don’t move from him because he is having such a great time. We are also infected with that.”
Reflecting on the honor, Chiranjeevi shared, “This moment is unforgettable, and having Aamir here makes it even more special. I never sought recognition from the Guinness World Records, but it feels incredible to be honored for my dancing. It’s dancing that truly made me a star and brought me so many rewards throughout my career.
“I still remember dancing in front of legends like Savitri and my first dance steps on screen. I owe this recognition to the directors, producers, music directors, and choreographers who always made sure to showcase my dance performances in films. I am deeply thankful to Richard Stenning for coming all the way to honor me”, said Chiru.
