BOLLYWOOD: At the 60th birthday bash for Telugu matinee idol Chiranjeevi organized by son Ramcharan Teja at the Park Hyatt in Hyderabad, a very close family-friend of the Chiranjeevi family, Salman Khan flew in from Mumbai on a private jet and had himself a ball.
A VIP guest spills the beans, “Salman is very close to both Chiranjeevi and his son. He flew in for the celebrations and danced to a medley of Chiranjeevi’s hits on stage. Chiranjeevi was thrilled to bits.”
And where but at a celebration for a mega-icon like Chiranjeevi would you find arch enemies Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi in the same room? Salman Khan and Oberoi has exchanged public vitriolic over Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
And yes, Salman and Vivek who were once Aishwarya lovers, shared the venue space with Abhishek Bachchan who flew in to the party with his mom Jaya Bachchan.
Amitabh Bachchan was unwell and couldn’t attend. But there was no dearth of mega-icons at the even. Prominent guests included Kamal Haasan with wife Gauthami, Shatrughan Sinha solo, Sridevi with husband Boney Kapoor. And Chirajeevi’s heroines from Khushboo to Tammannah.
“Yup, they were all there, shaking a leg and and recalling their golden moments with Chiranjeevi. But the highlight was clearly Salman’s performance. He didn’t have much time to rehearse .And he hadn’t seen all of Chiranjeevi Sir’s numbers that he danced to in the medley. But Salman gave his own ‘Salman’ twist to the original dance moves. Ramcharan Teja was visibly moved,” says a VIP guest.
An oddball guest at the celebrations was director Apoorva Lakhia.
In case people have forgotten he launched Ramcharan Teja into Hindi films with the remake of Zanjeer.
“Yes, I went because I’ve a very special place in Ramcharan’s life.I’ve given the only flop in his career,” quips Lakhia.
