Megastar Chiranjeevi has donated Rs 10 lakh to the charitable trust run by Raghava Lawrence.  A cheque for the amount was presented to the actor-director-choreographer during the pre-release event of 'Kanchana-3'.

"Our family has known Lawrence right when he was a dancer.  He became a dance master with 'Hitler'.  Over the years, Lawrence has become a brand.  People wait for his movies.  Chiranjeevi garu has decided to donate Rs 10 lakh to the charitable trust run by him.  I am here today to present the cheque," Allu Aravind said.

Lawrence profusely thanked Chiru and attributed his rising career to him.  "I wouldn't have become a dance master but for Chiranjeevi annayya.  Had I not become a dance master, I wouldn't have got a chance to direct Nagarjuna garu (for 'Mass').  Without all this, I wouldn't have been able to fund the heart surgeries of 150 children," Lawrence said.
