Megastar Chiranjeevi once gave away a gift worth Rs 1 Cr to director Krishna Vamsi. It happened sometime in the late 2000s.
"We have a very close relationship. During the making of a commercial with Annayya, I noticed that he used to arrive on set in a Land Cruiser worth Rs 1 Cr. As a fan of SUVs, I asked Annayya to give me the SUV. I forgot about it. Fifteen days later, to my pleasant surprise, Annayya invited me over to his place and handed me the keys to an SUV he had bought for me. I told him I couldn't accept such a gift, but he said, "Wouldn't you take it if your brother offered it?" I have never shared this moment with anyone until now because it was so personal," Krishna Vamsi said many years ago on an occasion.
Krishna Vamsi and Chiranjeevi had planned to collaborate many years ago. The plan didn't take off.
