Megastar Chiranjeevi has set up oxygen banks in each of the districts in the Telugu States. Reportedly, the whole exercise has cost him something like Rs 30 Cr. Andhra Prabha, the Telugu daily, has done a story on the humongous noble work that has been overseen by the 'Sye Raa' actor with sincerity.

In the meantime, a phone call between Chiru and Mootha Gopalakrishna, the writer of the Andhra Prabha article, has found its way into the Internet. In the call, which has gone viral, the journalist tells Chiranjeevi that his article reflects the views of crores of Chiru's fans.

The most interesting part comes later. Chiru is heard expressing his discontent with the mainstream media, which has blacked out the news about his oxygen banks. "It's unfortunate that the media is so biased. It's very hurtful. The media is distorting even good deeds," the 'Acharya' actor says.

He thanks the journalist for his encouragement. "I thank you from the bottom of my heart. No matter how much our people do, the media doesn't recognize our noble work. Your article is not an exaggeration. It was not written to appease me. It was written to inform the public," Chiru says.

Chiru adds that he has never sought funds from anyone to carry out the humanitarian work. "I am doing all this with all my earning," Chiru says.

In the call, Chiru's frustration with the media's prejudice is apparent. It seems the legendary actor is miffed that the media is not even acknowledging his immense work for political reasons.
