There are many stars in the industry. However, most of them did not get their first chance that easily and many strove hard to get that one chance to prove themselves and become stars. That was the reason why many worship and rever their debut directors as God.
Chiranjeevi with his hard work and dedication became Mega Star. He once became the highest-paid actor in the country. Like many, Chiranjeevi too struggled during his initial days. At that time Gudapati Rajkumar gave him the first chance as one of the heroes in Punadi Rallu.
Gudapati Rajkumar launched many newcomers later and now he is suffering from severe financial crunch. While he lost his son due to ill health, recently his wife passed away and is now leading a lonely life in a pathetic manner.
He is living in a rented house and his in all sorts of trouble unable to pay the rent and also receive treatment for his illness in hospital.
Gudapati Rajkumar who won many awards and rewards with his debut film, later came with superhit films. However, during those days, directors never had huge remunerations like the current lot. So Gudapati too couldn't become financially strong. He is looking for donors and philanthropists who can help him.
