In November 2025, the culinary scene in Hyderabad was stirred when a local restaurant called Chiranjeevi Dhaba encountered a legal challenge due to its homage to the famous Telugu actor's name. The eatery, located in Nallagandla, had opened earlier that year and quickly gained popularity among Chiranjeevi's fans.
However, following a Hyderabad Civil Court order that safeguarded the actor's personality rights, several establishments using Chiranjeevi's name, including the Chiranjeevi Dhaba, were served legal notices. The restaurant's owner, Ravi Tej, took to social media to clarify the situation, stating that the use of Chiranjeevi's name was solely out of admiration and respect.
