Megastar Chiranjeevi is regarded as one of the top actors of the South Indian film industry. Apart from enjoying a huge fanbase online, he has been ruling millions of hearts for decades. Recently, his name made headlines after a Hyderabad-based restaurant, named after the actor, landed in a legal soup. Following a legal notice, the owner of Chiranjeevi Dhaba, located in Nallagandla, confirms receiving a legal notice, adding that he had the actor's permission.
Notably, the dhaba opened in April this year and had recently received a legal notice for using the Telugu star's name and likeness. The owner of the cafe, Ravi Tej, recently took to Instagram to confirm that he had received a notice. In a video, he said, "It’s understandable that he might not have been aware of it earlier, but we firmly believed that once he knew the truth, he would respond positively, and our belief proved absolutely right," claiming that they met Chiranjeevi’s team to sort out the issue.
