Along with Chiranjeevi, actor Srikanth is also seen donating blood in the video. Chiranjeevi said that the number of blood donors have significantly decreased during the lockdown.
As a result of this shortage, he said that a lot of patients in need of blood are suffering.
Chiranjeevi also clarified that the police will not cause any kind of inconvenience if you step out to donate blood. “Approach the nearby blood bank and donate the blood.
By donating blood you will be donating life to others. This responsibility rests on everyone. Should make sure that people are not dying due to lack of blood.
No one will stop you from donating blood. You will not be troubled by the police at all. If you say that you are willing to donate blood you will receive a pass-through Whatsapp to your phone. And show that to the police,” Chiranjeevi said.
On the work front, Chiranjeevi will next be seen in upcoming Telugu film, Acharya, in which he’s rumoured to be playing dual roles.
The film is being directed by Koratala Siva. The movie will be about a middle-aged Naxalite-turned-social reformer who launches a fight against the Endowments Department over misappropriation and embezzlement of temple funds and donations.
