Powerstar Pawan Kalyan has completed 15 years in the Telugu film industry. He made his debut in 1996 with Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi, and his fame was raised quickly. He played boy-next-door roles in his initial years in films like Suswagatham and Gokulamlo Seetha. However Pawan became a star with Karunakaran’s Tholi Prema.

The film was released in 1998, and rewrote several records and it is still hailed as one of the most romantic films ever made in Telugu cinema. It is followed by Thammudu and Badri and they went on to become huge hits and in 2001, Khushi became a trendsetter. The success of Khushi gave him enough confidence to make his debut as a director with Jhonny (2003); however it didn’t live up to the expectations. Five years later, he made a strong comeback with Jalsaa and after Puli, Theen Maar he’s awaiting the release of his next film, Panjaa which will be released in December. Recently, the first look of Panjaa was revealed and the buzz surrounding the film has shot through the roof. Pawan Kalyan’s look was highly appreciated and the expectations on this film are sky high now.

Pawan Kalyan continued to remain a mystery for the media and a demi-god for his fans. Over the past few years he rarely spoke in public and people close to him vouch for his humility despite the cult status he enjoys. Hope he continues to entertain his fans in the coming years.
