The reasons were different. But Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Tollywod megastar Chiranjeevi enthused Chennai crowds on Friday, proving the popularity of cinema in other fields too.
Shah Rukh Khan, the owner of the visiting KKR team, knew a way to steal the hearts of the locals at the inaugural function of IPL at the M A Chidambaram Stadium. He and his troupe danced to a couple of peppy Tamil numbers — ‘Appadi Podu…’ and ‘Nakka Mukka…’
While Chiranjeevi met the voters in the suburbs of the city in support of Congress candidates, in view of the April 13 Assembly elections. “The CM has been handling affairs of the state even at his age like Bhishma pithamaha,” he said at a meeting in Avadi.
Says Kowshik Umashankar, an Avadi resident, “In the morning I saw Chiranjeevi campaigning in our place while in the evening I went to the IPL where I had a glimpse of Shah Rukh Khan and Shriya among others. Thanks to cricket and politics, I was able to see my favourite stars in person.”
