Coronavirus lockdown: Tollywood stars Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan extend support to PM Modi's '9 baje 9 minute'

In his latest speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked his fellow Indians to spare nine minutes of their time on Sunday at 9 pm by switching off the light and holding candles, diyas, torches or more in their balconies. Tollywood stars Ram Charan and Chiranjeevi came out in support of PM's decision.

The father-son duo created a video showing their support towards the cause. While Ram Charan asked his fans with a smile to switch off the lights and light diyas, Chiranjeevi stressed on the importance of following the '9 baje 9 minute' and fighting coronavirus in unity.

“I am proud of everyone who has faithfully been abiding by the lockdown! My love to you all. ‪With the same spirit, let's light up lamps and come together to spread awareness for 9 minutes at 9 pm this Sunday. Don’t forget!,” wrote Ram Charan while sharing the video.

Meanwhile Chiranjeevi tweeted, “On #5thApr20 @9 PM for 9 minutes, respecting our beloved PM’s call, let us all light lamps to drive away the darkness and gloom of #Corona Let’s stand for our country and let’s reiterate that we stand for each other!”

Here are their videos:
