Arre yaar, we all know Chiranjeevi as the Megastar of Tollywood, but did you know he’s been quietly supporting sports in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh? The man who gave us iconic films like Khaidi, Tagore, and recently Waltair Veerayya has been investing serious money in sports development.
His sports academy in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad has been training young badminton and tennis players since 2019. Honestly, matlab it’s not just a side hobby – the academy charges ₹15,000 per month and has produced some decent district-level players.

Chiranjeevi Sports Foundation – Real Impact on Ground
The Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust runs multiple sports programs across Hyderabad, Vijayawada, and Visakhapatnam. Bhai has spent over ₹5 crore in the last three years on sports infrastructure.
Their main focus areas include:
- Badminton coaching for underprivileged kids in Secunderabad
- Football ground maintenance in Kondapur area
- Sponsoring kabaddi teams from rural Andhra Pradesh
- Athletics training camps during summer holidays
Mujhe lagta hai this is way better than just doing random charity events. At least kids are getting proper sports training yaar.
From Reel Action to Real Athletics
Remember those amazing fight sequences in movies like Indra and Tagore? Chiranjeevi’s own fitness regime has always been legendary in the industry. The 68-year-old still does his workout at 5 AM daily at his Jubilee Hills residence.
His personal trainer Ravi Kumar (who also trained Ram Charan for Dhruva) now coaches young athletes at the sports academy. The monthly fee might be steep at ₹15,000, but they provide proper nutrition guidance and medical support too.
Fun fact – Chiranjeevi personally sponsors 50 kids from government schools in Hyderabad. These kids get free coaching, equipment, and even travel allowance for tournaments.
Supporting Pro Kabaddi and Regional Teams
Since 2022, Chiranjeevi has been the official patron of Telangana Titans kabaddi team. Though they haven’t won the Pro Kabaddi League title yet, his support has helped the team maintain decent players like Siddharth Desai and Rohit Kumar.
The megastar also sponsors three local kabaddi teams from Chittoor, Guntur, and Nellore districts. Each team gets ₹2 lakh annually for equipment and travel expenses. Sahi hai yaar, at least someone from the film industry is supporting traditional Indian sports.
Beyond kabaddi, he’s been funding volleyball courts in various villages across Rayalaseema region. These aren’t just photo-op projects – the courts are properly maintained with nets and proper flooring.
Honestly speaking, Chiranjeevi’s sports initiatives deserve more recognition than his recent films like Acharya (which was a disaster, let’s be real). The man is genuinely creating opportunities for young athletes who can’t afford expensive coaching. In 2026, when everyone talks about sports development in Telugu states, his contribution should definitely get a mention yaar.
