Speaking at the audio launch of his brother and actor Pawan Kalyan’s film Gabbar Singh, Chiranjeevi revealed that Rajinikanth had advised him to work with directors who are also his fans.
“A director who is also a fan can be a lethal combination,” Chiranjeevi said. He went on to add that Gabbar Singh director Haris Shankar simply adores Pawan Kalyan. “I think that this alone would make Gabbar Singh a winner,” Chiranjeevi said.
Talking about the audio of the film, that was launched at a gala event, the actor-politician said that he felt like dancing to the tunes of the film, composed by Devi Sri Prasad.
“I had to hold myself back but my fingers were moving with rhythm,” said the actor, admired for his dancing prowess. Chiranjeevi also conveyed the best wishes of actor Ram Charan, who is shooting in Mumbai, to Pawan Kalyan. He ridiculed reports about a rift in the ‘mega‘ family.
“We don’t need to lie about our whereabouts since an immigration stamp would vouch for Pawan Kalyan’s trip to the US during Racha audio launch,” he said.
Chiranjeevi also made an appeal, laced with sarcasm, to the media, “Now don’t write that Ram Charan is in town, but he didn’t turn up for the audio launch.”
He described Pawan Kalyan as an ‘honest person‘ with a great social outlook. “He is a humanist at the core of his heart,” Chiranjeevi said. Producer Ganesh described Pawan Kalyan as a man with a ‘multiple personalities‘.
“I saw 900 avatars of Pawan in the three years of my association with him. He is a great friend and supporter,” said Ganesh.
Actor Shruti Hassan spoke a few words in Telugu, enthralling the fans. “I was initially nervous to work with Pawan, but he put me at ease with his down-to-earth and humble attitude,” she said.
After duds like Komaram Puli, Teen Maar and Panjaa, Pawan looks to redeem himself with a smashing hit and the remake of Dabbang looks like it has the potential to change his fortunes.
