Pavan Kalyan, A Powerful Headlong Plunge into Celluloid

- Satavahana

In any field, we can find a countable few trend-setters. In those trend-setters we can grade out persons who will be innovative and unique in their works attempting to bring out best of their talents in diversified angle.

While others keep on taking the beaten track, these trendsetters beat out a new track of their own. Similar to any other field the rule applies to the celluloid or the glittering silver screen rather film field also.

General trend of the field is to take one or the other success formula, proved commercially by some one else and with some twists and turns the formula is presented again. This is with an idea, generally ingrained into the minds of producers, directors, and even the lead role players ‘why to take risk, let us follow the proven success formula’.

The attitude, if taken their shoe that are investing crores of rupees into the film might seem true to us for some time. These kinds of producers and directors can never give a common audience the entertainment for which they get into a movie theatre spending his time and money. The lead role players, heroes, too think a while for doing innovative and different roles coming out of their “image” circuit. The scare in the heroes is that if this role conks out, the career graph might sink and the future may become a big question.

Under these prevailing circumstances, we have one who is committed to show out the best in him and prove to be ‘not one among the lot’. Initially, he was eclipsed by the big shadow of his brother and mega star Chiranjeevi. Gradually he proved his mettle with his own dedication, commitment, decency, and diplomacy and walked out of his brother’s shadow after creating his own ‘craze and image’ in the spectators. The strength of the fanfare is of course the yardstick for any personality’s performance in his or her respective arena.

Yes, indeed, we are speaking about the unique, successive success star Pavan Kalyan. He is the one in the present times who is attracting house-full collections with major participation of the youth. The attributions of ‘his’ brother, son, grandson, and what not can be helpful giving an entry. But the entrant should prove himself and create a platform of his own to stand to the test of time. The distinction will be touching the person’s feet only if he or she is incessant hard and smart worker. The ceaseless efforts with a zeal to learn every flip of a second made Pavan rob the young and old hearts.

He can be given a distinction, especially when famous film personalities' sons, daughters, brothers and grandsons are foraying with celebration and disappearing much earlier than the echo of the celebration stopped. Pavan always took his profession to be devotion, a tradition, and not just a passion. He is now not a person in the glittering celluloid field; he has turned into an energetic power to drive the audience to the movie house.

‘Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi’ gave Pavan an opening to flash on the screen. And he never turned around since then. Every single movie, "Gokulamlo Seetha", "Suswagatham", "Tholi Prema", "Thammudu" and "Badri" moved viewers' hearts and built his fanfare that is growing day after day and show after show. Now it is the turn of "Khushi". The Pavan’s name is chanted and enchanted with resounding Mexican waves in the jam-packed movie houses. The star who is born just yesterday marks his growth with the spectator filled compounds of the theatres and people reserving their show in advance.

Khushi recently completed 50 days of houseful exhibition and is advancing rapidly towards 100 days fete. At this juncture, Pavan shares his thoughts and expressions with us.

Q: Did Kushi give a satisfaction to you, Pavan?

A: Yes, Ahh! In fact, it gave me a bigger satisfaction.

Q: What will be your experience while acting in a film and when it is due to release?

A: I compare acting to attempting an examination. In my childhood I never attended school properly. Then how could I go confident with the examination? I used to sit very calm with a fear, whether I can clear the examination or not. Even now, I treat acting in every frame as an examination. With the habituation of sitting quite and calm, I do the same, of course not with any fear but now with confidence. I’m not afraid of failures. I transform my fears as sharp swords burning them in the fire of hard work and dedication.

Q: Are you in similar moods during release of all the movies in which you took lead role?

A: No. I have varied moods. For example, when Badri was on the release I was too tense. This was because film was based on an innovative story line. My confidence while doing that film was boosted with the reception of audiences.

Q: Your career graph itself reflects your research in the field. Are you passionate with any other hobbies?

A: I have a musician and a painter in me, besides a successful actor. I am practising Violin and painting these days. My attempt is to bring out both of them in one stretch.

Q: Is that all….or some thing else…?

A: Yeah, one more interesting hobby. I am fond of roses. I am getting varieties of roses from various places and nurturing them. It keeps me happy and fresh.

Q: Have you done something to be different in your life?

A: It is a natural process to be different. Only then one could be successful in being different. One can never be different just by a thought.

Yes of course, Pavan Kalyan is different right from his childhood. Innovative, different, experimenting and many others are inborn qualities in his blood and respiration. Even though he is offered with many films, he carefully selects only one picture per annum and does it to his perfection.

Pavan is also venturing into production and probably into direction too. He recently put up his own banner – “Pavan Kalyan Creative Works”. People are waiting for his next film’s release, anxiously. Why not? It can also be his own creative work.
