Don't Write Nonsense: Chiranjeevi On Rumours Of Cancer

Rumours were doing rounds that Telugu Megastar Chiranjeevi was diagnosed with cancer. However, the Tollywood actor himself has given a statement to clear the confusion while slamming journalists for misinterpreting his earlier statement.

"A while ago I spoke about the need to raise awareness about cancer while inaugurating a cancer center. I told you that cancer can be prevented if you undergo regular medical tests. I was alert and took a colon scope test. I said that non-cancerous polyps were detected and removed.

I only said, 'If I hadn't done the test first, it would have turned out to be cancer'. That's why everyone should take precautions and undergo medical tests/screening', I only said, (sic)" he tweeted in Telugu.

The Megastar further said that some media houses misinterpreted his statement and appealed to the journalists not to "write nonsense without understanding the subject."

"But some media organizations did not understand this properly and started scrolling and web articles saying 'I got cancer' and 'I survived due to treatment'. This has caused unnecessary confusion. Many well-wishers are sending messages about my health. This clarification is for all of them.

Also an appeal to such journalists. Don't write nonsense without understanding the subject. Because of this, many people are scared and hurt, (sic)" he added.

On the work front, he will be next seen in 'Bholaa Shankar', directed by Meher Ramesh. The movie has Tamannaah Bhatia in the female lead with Keerthy Suresh playing an important role.

It is scheduled for a theatrical release on 11 August 2023.
