Charan says that his dad is his idol and role model, not just in films but also in real life. Charan is determined to live up to the high standards set by his father, the one and only Chiranjeevi. And Charan will also carry forward all the good work initiated by dad, like the blood bank, eye bank and other charitable works. Noble thoughts indeed and they are not surprising either; remember he has inherited the genes of not only his great father and his caring mother, but also the genes of his gentlemanly grandfather, the late Allu Ramalingaiah. For a young man just into his twenties, he sure has a level head and clear thinking.
