Megastar Chiranjeevi’s recent participation in Union Minister Kishan Reddy’s Sankranti celebrations has sparked fresh speculation about his potential return to politics. While the actor has not officially confirmed his political ambitions, his actions suggest a possible alignment with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
During the event, which was attended by several prominent national figures, including Prime Minister Modi, Chiranjeevi extended a warm welcome to the Prime Minister alongside Kishan Reddy. This public appearance has led to discussions about Chiranjeevi’s proximity to the BJP and rumors regarding his future political role.
Political insiders suggest that Chiranjeevi may be inducted into Modi’s Cabinet in the near future. These speculations are not new; similar rumors surfaced during the swearing-in ceremony of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu when both Modi and Chiranjeevi shared the stage. The symbolic gesture of Modi raising their hands in victory sparked discussions about Chiranjeevi’s possible return to politics.

The recent honor bestowed upon Chiranjeevi by the central government has further fueled these rumors. BJP leaders are reportedly considering Chiranjeevi for a Rajya Sabha nomination, with hopes of garnering support from the Kapu community in Andhra Pradesh, a key demographic that has historically backed Chiranjeevi and his brother Pawan Kalyan.
Chiranjeevi’s past political engagement, including his role as Minister of State for Tourism under former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh between 2012 and 2014, further adds weight to the speculation. Sources indicate that BJP may soon nominate him for a Rajya Sabha seat, especially with four seats expected to be vacated in Andhra Pradesh in June 2025.
Though Chiranjeevi remains focused on his film career, his silence on the matter has only intensified rumors about his potential political “second innings.” As BJP strategists continue to evaluate the political landscape, Chiranjeevi’s role in shaping the party’s future in Andhra Pradesh remains a topic of keen interest.
