00:00The legend who walks, Shri Amitabh Bachchanji and the megastar, Chiranjeevi.
00:12This year is even more special to us because the award is being given to my very dear friend
00:18and brother, Padma Vibhushan Chiranjeev Garu.
00:23The award is being presented by another legend whom I admired all my life and who also has
00:32been a part of all your lives, our beloved Padma Vibhushan Dadasaheb Palke Awardee, Shri
00:40Amitabh Bachchanji.
00:42Amitji, when you accepted the ANR award a few years ago, you made the award more prestigious.
00:57We thank you now for gracefully accepting to present it to Chiranjeevi Garu.
01:02It means the world to us as this is the centenary year of ANR Garu.
01:12Especially when I saw the film Kalki, Nagi is also here I think, which released in theaters,
01:20I called up Amitji and said just one thing, Amitji, my original mass hero is back.
01:32And from the other side on the phone, I heard his hearty laughter.
01:37It went on for five seconds and I felt so good about it.
01:40Sir, I was so thrilled to see you in your original avatar.
01:45It made me so nostalgic because the evergreen angry young man image is so deeply etched
01:53in our minds even after all these years.
01:57Your portrayal of Aswathama gave us the same adrenaline rush.
02:03Your screen presence, your magnetism, your impact are simply untouchable.
02:10Amitji, as movie lovers, we are all eternally grateful to you for all the characters you
02:17portrayed to entertain us.
02:22Amitji is also a brand ambassador for a lot of humanitarian and social causes like polio
02:28eradication and hepatitis awareness, along with UNICEF, Swachh Bharat Mission, Beti Padao,
02:36Beti Bachao, Initiative for the Government of India, and many more.
02:40Amitji, we salute you for your social initiatives.
02:47I just want to say one more thing about Amitji.
02:52That excellence is something most artists like us aspire and strive to achieve.
03:01And that excellence is a starting point for Amitji.
03:09Talking about Chiranjeevi garu, my dear friend.
03:39I remember very well, in 1985, when I was about to enter the film industry, Chiranjeevi
03:47garu was singing a song in Annapurna Studios.
03:53My father called me and said,
03:55Hey, Chiranjeevi is dancing inside on that floor, go and watch.
04:01You are about to enter the film industry, you can learn to dance.
04:06I went to the set, there were a lot of rain songs at that time.
04:11He was wearing a nice white dress and was dancing with Radha.
04:19The grace and charisma in his dance caught my attention.
04:31I thought, can we dance like him?
04:34I thought, no, we can't do it, let's look for another way in our career.
04:39Let's go in a different way, I thought and came out.
04:43And I have a lot of fond memories like that.
04:48I have another fond memory.
04:51How down to earth, how sweet, how warm, how hospitable person he is.
04:58Here, on this floor, when we were giving the ANR award to Amitabh Bachchan a few years back,
05:08there was a protocol I had to maintain.
05:11We could get only so many people on the stage.
05:15And I asked Chiranjeevi to come and he said he would definitely come.
05:22I said, there is a small protocol, a small problem, I can't call you up, do you have any objection?
05:27He said, what is there to object?
05:30You called me, that is Amitabh Bachchan's award, that is my father's award.
05:34I will come, I will sit in front of him.
05:38And the whole award function, he sat there and watched the whole award function.
05:52But he asked for permission to come and give the award to Amitabh Bachchan.
05:57I said okay, I will give permission.
05:59I just wanted to mention that, what a humble person he is.
06:06I don't have to talk about his status, I don't have to talk about that.
06:12I wanted to talk about this, so I talked about that.
