Year 2024 has been phenomenal for the larger Mega family.

Regardless of their recent differences, for decades, they shared common commercial interests. Three individuals from the two important cinema-political families have witnessed unprecedented highs this year.
Pawan Kalyan, who was almost written off, rose like a meteor in June this year. With his party winning with a 100% strike rate, he was made the Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh. Whenever his movie 'OG' hits the cinemas, it is going to take blasting openings, given the genre. His political charisma and image are going to come into play in making 'OG' successful.
Allu Arjun is now a solid pan-Indian superstar, with 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' minting Rs 800 Cr in just four days. It has been on a record-breaking spree at the box office. Bunny has stunned even Bollywood superstars with his film.
And now, Konidela Nagababu has been inducted into the Andhra Pradesh Cabinet by Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu. This is another high point for the Mega family this year. Naga Babu was written off as a non-entity in the field of politics. Cut to December, he stands a chance to leave a mark in politics.
Pawan Kalyan, Allu Arjun, and Naga Babu, who are relatives, have seen the biggest heights in their fields.
