'I am not leaving the industry. I am a part of the industry and will ever remain so. But I am going a different way to serve the public', said an emotional Chiranjeevi addressing the industry people, who attended the Tea party that he organized for the industry at Ramanaidu studios on Saturday night. 'Chiranjeevi is what the industry made. In fact, Chiranjeevi is the name that the industry recognized me. Chiranjeevi is what he is today because of the film industry, which is mother to all of us. I am indebted to the directors, producers, co-stars, and technicians. I cannot think of moving away from this industry even in my dream. I will never go away from the industry and I request you all not to consider this as moving away. I am always one among you. I will always be your Chiranjeevi', said Chiranjeevi.
