In the end, it finally came to light that all these reports were rumors. Media sources state that people close to the Chiranjeevi said that the extra 'E' was due to a typographical error in the first teaser for Godfather. The extra letter has been deleted, and the right spelling has been restored, according to sources.
Chiranjeevi's fans on social media quoted the 'name change' articles, defending the megastar. “If one or two failures would push him to change his name, he must have done it for 'n' number of times in his distinguished career. This is just rubbish, (sic)” a fan wrote on social media.
Chiranjeevi was last seen in Koratala Siva’s action-drama Acharya where he shared screen space with his son Ram Charan. Recently, the makers had released a new look poster for Godfather, where the actor was seen sporting a salt and pepper look. The film is scheduled for a October, 2022 release.
