Earlier
today
,Megastar
Chiranjeevi
started
to
Kirlampudi,
East
Godavari
district,
to
visit
Kapu
crusader
Mudragada
Padmanabham,
who
is
fasting
unto
death
demanding
for
Kapu
reservation.
Being
a
Congress
MP
and
a
famous
personality
from
the
same
community,
Chiranjeevi
wanted
to
extend
his
support
to
the
mission.
However,
the
actor
turned
politician,
along
with
a
few
other
political
leaders
were
arrested
at
the
Rajamundry
airport,
before
they
met
the
Kapu
leader.
Chiranjeevi's
support
to
the
issue
is
expected
to
raise
the
intensity
of
the
protests.
Meanwhile,
Congress
workers
are
protesting
against
the
arrest,
alleging
that
it
is
unjust
to
take
leaders
into
the
custody,
who
has
come
to
extend
their
support.
Chiranjeevi,
who
had
a
shoulder
surgery
a
couple
of
days
ago,
was
in
fact
advised
to
take
a
minimum
of
two
weeks
rest.
But,
the
actor
has
decided
to
come
out
in
favor
of
the
serious
protests
by
Kapu
leaders,
which
are
currently
putting
the
political
scenario
of
the
state,
ablaze.
On
the
other
hand,
mega
fans
are
worried
about
the
actor's
health,
while
they
are
condemning
the
arrest,
as
well.
Megastar
Chiranjeevi
had
undergone
a
shoulder
surgery
at
a
private
hospital
in
Mumbai
on
Thursday
and
it
is
said
to
be
a
very
minor
surgery.
"Over
the
last
few
months,
he's
been
struggling
with
some
pain
in
his
shoulder.
He
has
finally
decided
to
get
it
operated
as
he
starts
shooting
for
his
next
film
from
March,
and
doesn't
want
the
pain
to
aggravate,"
the
source
informed.
