Pawan Kalyan, now Deputy CM and Power Star, never wanted to be an actor. Initially shy and interested in direction, he was pushed into acting by his sister-in-law, Surekha. Expectations were low after Nagababu’s limited success, but Pawan’s unique introduction created buzz.

His early films, like Gokulam Lo Seetha and Suswagatam, connected with youth, while Tholi Prema gave him his own identity.

Hits like Thammudu, Badri, and Khushi made him a youth icon, even surpassing Chiranjeevi in craze. However, flops like Johnny slowed his rise, though his creative screenplay ideas influenced future films.

With Jalsa and later Gabbar Singh, he made strong comebacks, while Attarintiki Daredi crowned him Tollywood’s No.1.

Post his political entry, inconsistent choices led to setbacks, but Vakeel Saab and Bheemla Nayak regained momentum despite challenges.

Recent films like Bro and Hari Hara Veeramallu failed, yet his upcoming OG has already created record-breaking buzz with advance bookings. Fans now eagerly await its release on September 25.
