He is just three films old. Yet, his up-and-coming film has been inviting vast amount of attention. One would have thought it to be bombastic to see Charan's fans conferring the title of Mega Power Star on an upstart, but it is true that after that monster hit Magadheera, the young successor of Megastar's legacy has become a force to reckon with in Tollywood.

He celebrates his birthday on March 27. As he turns 27 today, he is raring to set his foot in Bollywood, an industry in which even a Tom Cruise-like Mahesh Babu is not ready to test the waters. He spent much part of the last year in carefully planning his career moves. Though it is his father who gives the final go-ahead for his films, but it is Cherry who decides the kind of films he wants to be seen.

Given his image, it is fitting that he is coming up with a film like Ra-Cha (Ram Charan, they say). There is a sentiment that could work in his favour. Chirutha and Magadheera were his title roles, but not his names in those films. Likewise, though he has made Raccha his own (a quality and a noun at once), it is not his name in the film. (His name in the film is Viswam).

By the time he turns 28 next year, Cherry will have become a bigger star.

IndiaGlitz wishes him all the best in life!
