Telugu film star Chiranjeevi has played the same language game as Sanjay Dutt and Kamal Haasan did, and with the same success.

Sanjay used Mumbai slang that is known as Mumbaiya with delightful effect in "Munnabai M.B.B.S.". Kamal used a Tamil slang with devastating effect in "Vasoolraja M.B.B.S.", the Tamil remake of the Bollywood hit.

Chiru has now used a street dialect with equal success in "Shankardada M.B.B.S.", the Telugu adaptation of the same film.

The success has given him a hat- trick of hits, after "Indra" and "Tagore".
