Cricket Fever Grips Tollywood: Sukumar, Chiranjeevi Witness India’s Champions Trophy Triumph

The India-Pakistan clash at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 wasn’t just a battle on the cricket field; it was a spectacle that captivated the nation, including some of the biggest names in the South Indian film industry. Dubai played host to this electrifying encounter, and among the roaring crowd were Tollywood’s finest, adding a touch of stardom to the already intense atmosphere.

Leading the pack was director Sukumar, the visionary behind the blockbuster “Pushpa” franchise. He was joined by his wife Thabitha and children Sukriti and Sukranth, showcasing their support for Team India. While Sukumar sported a stylish black shirt, his family donned the iconic blue jersey, mirroring the patriotic fervor that gripped the nation.

Adding to the star-studded spectacle was none other than Megastar Chiranjeevi, the legendary actor who enjoys a massive following across generations. His presence at the stadium further ignited the excitement, with fans capturing his infectious enthusiasm for the game.

Chiranjeevi’s love for cricket is no secret, as he often takes to social media to express his support for the Indian team. Meanwhile, Sukumar is basking in the glory of “Pushpa 2: The Rule,” which has shattered box office records. With “Pushpa 3: The Rampage” and “RC17” (featuring Ram Charan) on the horizon, Sukumar’s cinematic reign shows no signs of slowing down.

Chiranjeevi, too, has a packed slate, with “Vishwambhara” (a fantasy action film with Trisha Krishnan), and projects with directors Anil Ravipudi and Srikanth Odela (“Mega157”) keeping him busy.

The India-Pakistan match transcended the boundaries of a mere sporting event, becoming a cultural moment that united fans and celebrities in a shared passion for cricket. It was a testament to the unifying power of sports and the captivating allure of India’s biggest stars.
