A Tribute To Power Star-->15 years in TFI!!
Through his 15 year
film career, he has carved a distinct identity for himself. Without a
doubt, Pawan Kalyan is the single biggest super star of Tollywood and to
say that he enjoys a demigod status in the hearts and eyes of the
people is an understatement. “Power Star” as he is fondly known as, is a
box office power house with his every movie setting the benchmark for
collections and reach. His fan clubs in every remote village, his
numerous web sites speak of the magnitude of reach he enjoys with the
people of Andhra Pradesh and beyond. The respect and adulation he enjoys
among the masses is simply unparalleled. The journey so far has been
nothing short of spectacular- and if these fifteen glorious years are
any indication of the things to come we are in for a very special
smorgasbord- a spread that is as varied and as exemplary as the man
himself!
His penchant for
perfection is well known and all his movies bear the hall mark of his
intense performances – be it be the quintessential lover boy in “Tholi
Prema”, the naxalite in “Jalsa”, the martial arts fighter in “Johnny”,
the angry young man in “Badri”, the fashion icon in “Balu”, the fun
loving guy in “Teenmaar” and the deserving brother in “Thammudu”. His
versatility has been his forte and he continues to wow the audiences
with his brilliant portrayal of every roll that he enacted. His movies
have always been interlaced with a social message or an issue that needs
attention in the society.
He has always had
the conviction to step forward and work with aspiring and untested
talent to deliver some of the finest successes at the box-office. His
phenomenal success is not the result of a well ironed and time tested
‘recipe for success'- in other words it has never followed an
algorithmic path. Adhering to a formula has never been his forte and
this is amply evident in his zeal for breaking new ground in uncharted
territories. The list of technicians/directors and new talent that were
baptized by him is endless. He has constantly strived to experiment with
his roles and style with stupendous success. It is simply his
conviction and his belief in new ideas and talent that paved the way for
a new generation of film makers and technicians for this Industry.
His popularity
soared with millions of people adding to his fan base with each one of
his films. Pawan Kalyan is no less than a “messiah” for his millions of
fans that adore him. That he has reached cult status is probably an
understatement. His fan base grows larger and multiplies several folds
with his every movie release. His reach crosses geographical boundaries
and extends into Tamilnadu, Orissa, Kerala and Karnataka too. His
popularity in the NRI community is also huge and it shows in the global
box office collections.
Personal -
Unbeknownst to the masses it is the way in which he conducts himself
that draws millions of hitherto hidden admirers from every quadrant of
the society. He has a mammoth cult following - yet he chooses to lead a
very quiet and very simple life. He is a man of few words and believes
in leading a simple life despite the “larger than life” image he enjoys.
PANJAA
My personal
interactions with him have been a learning experience- each interaction
has taught me something new. The topics are varied and his knowledge is
as diverse as his countless roles that he has essayed to perfection. Mr.
Perfect to the core – there is so much to learn from him just by
watching him. His down to earth nature in spite of his cult status is
something that is increasingly rare in today's material world.
And finally come
December, a big bonanza awaits all of us – the release of PANJAA –the
making of the movie was a once in a life time experience for all of us.
The movie has been the result of a tremendous amount of hard work from
the entire unit including the star cast, the technicians, the unit
members and everyone else associated with it. We have tried to capture
the totality and the spirit of “Power Star” to the best of our ability.
Harnessing a hurricane is no easy job! We gave it our best shot and we
sincerely believe that our effort will warm the hearts of his fans.
We have toiled hard
on this dream. It is no exaggeration when we say that it took a lot of
“blood, sweat and tears” to transform this dream into a reality. And the
one single person who made all this possible is the man himself. He
will always hold a special place in my heart.
So come December,
please get ready for some pure magic and action packed celluloid fun.
It will be a month to remember for a long time to come J
Welcome to our dream…
