I grew up watching Pawan Kalyan films and entered the industry with him as a huge inspiration.
My film with Pawan Kalyan sir, 'Vakeel Saab,' came in theatres and collected humongous figures in the first weekend. It was a celebration for people. Then it released on an OTT, and people still watched it, it garnered high TRPs.
There was a time when I wanted to meet Pawan Kalyan sir at least once and have a picture clicked with him. There was a time when I put up banners for him; I've literally torn my shirt watching him on screen.
I have a request to make to Pawan Kalyan sir on behalf of all his fans. He will definitely succeed whichever field he chooses. But we fans can't bear it if he says he won't do films anymore. We will always be hopeful that he will do a film someday.
I would love to share screen space with Pawan Kalyan.
In my real life, too, I am a big fan of Pawan Kalyan.
After my father, I love two people; one is Pawan Kalyan and the other one is Trivikram Srinivas.
I'm a die-hard fan of the Power Star and like using a Pawan Kalyan reference in all my films.
I never expected 'Theen Maar' to have such a great opening. Pawan Kalyan is a huge star in Tollywood, but for me, it's just my second film.
It's one of those once in a lifetime opportunities for me to be sharing the screen with a star of the stature of Pawan Kalyan, and I jumped at it. The intensity that he brings to the screen is incredible, he's a phenomenal performer.
I think being a part of a Pawan Kalyan film is a larger-than-life experience. There is a certain aura around the man and the moment he steps on to the sets, people stop what they're doing and look up.
I do not subscribe to the idea of actors Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Pawan Kalyan, and Upendra launching political outfits just because they are actors, though I am a fan of all these stars.
I can't tell at what age I developed this love towards movies, but I've always enjoyed watching films. I've grown up watching the films of my uncles Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan.
Eight, sir; seven, sir; Six, sir; five, sir; Four, sir; Three, sir; Two, sir; one! Tenser, said the Tensor. Tenser, said the Tensor. Tension, apprehension, And dissension have begun.
Icons like Nagarjuna sir and Jagapati Babu sir have been so encouraging and shared such great energy, welcoming me into the Telugu film industry. It is motivating.
I started being interested in acting when I heard the voices of Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir John Gielgud and Sir Alec Guinness. I've had the great privilege of working with Sir Derek Jacobi and Sir Anthony Hopkins. These are people who inspire the work that I do.
