‘Power Star’ Pawan Kalyan is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars in Telugu, with a humongous fan following among youth. However, his career planning and script planning are poor, to say the least. The fact that he has encountered more flops than any other actor in Telugu is a testament to that. As Kalyan himself admitted, he was never a passionate actor; in fact, he is not even interested in films, to be more precise. But ironically, he has the most craziest fan basein the Telugu states.
The 2019 Andhra Pradesh general elections were a nightmare for Kalyan. After receiving a huge response upon his political entry, he lost the elections from both the constituencies he contested from. One of the major reasons behind this debacle is the image Kalyan has had among people. To put it straight, a major chunk of voters still saw Kalyan as a ‘Film Star’ and not a politician. And his previous political appearance during Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam party, its electoral performance, and the sudden merger in Congress have further heightened the image.
After this election’s result, Kalyan chose to completely sideline his acting career to focus on politics. He was so busy serving people that he chose to star in three back-to-back remakes since they can be wrapped up in quick durations. Today, Pawan Kalyan is an outright politician and a part-time actor. In other words, people in Andhra Pradesh now see him as a ‘Leader’ first and not a film star. Kalyan, along with his PR team, has succeeded in building the image, and the upcoming general elections must reflect that. Jai Hind!
