Some predictions are like low-hanging fruits. If you have some instinct and gut, you can arrive at those predictions without hassling your brain cells.
One such prediction is here: Sai Dharam Tej will enter politics someday. Even those who don't like his acting chops have been, from time to time, genuinely impressed with his offscreen persona. For years, he has done charity work silently. He comes across as interested in clean politics. It is not clear why he looks more genuine than other actors of his age but perception-wise, he enjoys a certain Good Samaritan image. Many people loved 'Republic' because of his offscreen persona more than the content of the film.
In the latest instance, he was the first celebrity to take up the issue of content creator Praneeth Hanumanthu's pedophilic content. He tagged the CMs of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to seek his arrest. This came from a place of genuine concern for social degeneracy that is enabled by a contemptible online culture.
The 'Virupaksha' actor is related to Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan. It shouldn't come as a surprise if he is already being groomed for a political debut in 2029.
