Sai Dharam Tej has taken up a new initiative. The actor, who is a philanthropist in his own right, has said that he will be doing something concrete instead of being content with offering temporary solutions to problems.

"We have been doing things such as blood donation camps as part of a temporary solution. My thought is that I have to give a permanent solution to at least one problem. As part of this endeavour, I have decided to fund the construction of a building of an old-age home. I hereby request Mega fans to donate money, small or big, towards this. I have collected Rs 1 lakh from Mega fans so far and I am grateful to them all. I will also be sponsoring all the needs of the old-age home for a period of one year," the 'Chitralahari' actor said.

He awaits the release of 'Prati Roju Pandage' in December. A short video glimpse of the movie was released yesterday marking the Mega hero's birthday.
