After consoling the bereaved family members, an emotional Chiru addressed the media and remembered his association with Vijaya Bapineedu. Chiru called Vijaya Bapineedu as his mentor, a brother and father figure and that his Gang Leader director used to love him so much.
"At one point, Vijaya Bapineedu garu used to only work with me. When I had suggested him to work with other heroes, he had told me that he had a certain comfort level with me which he didn't feel with other heroes," said Chiranjeevi.
"Bapineedu garu was a man with unique thoughts. He had celebrated my Gang Leader success function in 4 centres on a single day. Not only me, he was loved by all my family members and fans. His passing away is a great loss for the film industry," said Chiru.
