Ram Charan's wife, Upasana Kamineni Konidela, also shared her joy, acknowledging her "Mamaya" for his unparalleled dedication to cinema.

The industry echoed the sentiment, with prominent figures like SS Rajamouli, Prabhudeva, Rishab Shetty, and Chiranjeevi's brother, Naga Babu, expressing their congratulations.

He expressed immense pride in his brother's feat, acknowledging the incredible numbers behind it - 156 films, 537 songs, and 24,000 dance moves.

Chiranjeevi, who has captivated audiences for decades with his charismatic screen presence and mesmerizing dance moves, received the award at a special ceremony in Hyderabad on September 22, coinciding with the anniversary of his big-screen debut in 1978.

He expressed his gratitude, stating, “This moment is unforgettable. I never expected to get the Guinness World Records, but it feels incredible to be honoured for my dancing. All these years of my film career, dance has become part of my life.”

The veteran actor attributed his success to the collaborative efforts of directors, producers, music directors, and choreographers who consistently highlighted his dancing talent.

Chiranjeevi's Guinness World Record is a testament to his unwavering dedication to his craft and his enduring legacy in the Indian film industry. His next project, "Vishwambhara," is slated for release in January 2025, further solidifying his position as a cinematic icon.
