Guinness World Records adjudicator Richard Stenning praised Chiranjeevi's extraordinary contribution, saying, "After thoroughly reviewing all 156 films and his dance performances, we found this achievement to be officially amazing."
Megastar K Chiranjeevi received recognition from Guinness World Records for being the most prolific star in the actor/dancer category in the Indian cinema on Sep 22.
The award was handed over to the star by Aamir Khan and a member of the Guinness Records team. The day incidentally marked his work anniversary when he made his debut in cinema in 1978.
A Guinness World Records certificate, presented to Chiranjeevi at an occasion, reads, "The most prolific film star in the Indian film industry, actor/dancer Konidela Chiranjeevi, aka Mega Star (India), achieved on 20 September 2024."
"This moment is unforgettable. I never sought recognition from the Guinness World Records, but it feels incredible to be honored for my dancing. It is dancing that truly made me a star and brought me so many rewards throughout my career," Chiranjeevi said after receiving the certificate.
While thanking everyone, Chiranjeevi added, "All these years of my film career, dance has become part of my life. I still remember dancing in front of legends like Savitri and my first dance steps on screen. I owe this recognition to the directors, producers, music directors, and choreographers who always made sure to showcase my dance performances in films."

Superstar Aamir Khan expressed his admiration for the actor. "I see him as my elder brother. I was so happy that Chiranjeevi Garu is being given this honor and I was really thrilled to know that. If you notice him in any song of his, his own heart's in it, and he is enjoying himself," Khan said.
Chiranjeevi received congratulations from Union Coal Minister G Kishan Reddy, BRS Working President K T Rama Rao, and Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of Telangana.
Revanth Reddy, in a post on X, said, "It is a matter of pride for Telugu people that popular movie actor Konidela Chiranjeevi got a place in the Guinness Book of World Records."
In a post on 'X', Kishan Reddy said, "Megastar for a reason! Congratulations to one of the most admired Indian film stars, Sri K Chiranjeevi Garu, on being recognized as the Most Prolific Film Star in the Indian Film Industry, actor/dancer. 24000 dance moves in 537 songs in his 156 films in a span of 45 years—this is simply incredible! This is an iconic feat. Your legacy will be an inspiration for generations. @KChiruTweets".
"I extend my heartiest congratulations to Mega Star and Padma Vibhushan awardee, @KChiruTweets Garu, on being recognized by The Guinness Book of World Records as the Most Prolific Film Star in Indian Film Industry, Actor/Dancer.
He has made an unparalleled contribution to Telugu cinema with his grace and artistry. “This recognition not only adds another feather to his cap, but it also elevates the pride of Telugu people all over the world,” Chandrababu Naidu posted on X.

Chiranjeevi received the Padma Vibhushan, the second highest civilian honor for exceptional and meritorious service, in May 2024, alongside Indian cinema icon Vyjayanthimala.
