BiographyPower Star Pawan Kalyan is the younger brother of Megastar Chiranjeevi. He was born on September 2, 1973. His father's name is Konidela Venkata Rao and mother's name Anjana Devi. He started his film career with 'Akkada Ammayi - Ikkada Abbayi'.
Pawan Kalyan's discipline and dedication comes from the martial arts that he has been practising. To clarify some of the critics comments about his martial arts skills, Pawan Kalyan demonstrated a show amidst a huge audience at Ravindra Barathi. He was awarded the title "Pawan", symbolising Lord Hanuman for his energy. Hence Kalyan was rechristined as Pawan Kalyan.
In 1998, Tholi Prema released. It initially started out low profile but the treatement and the storyline along with melodious and balanced music by Deva took the movie to great heights. Thammudu, another blockbuster followed, is a remake of Jo Jeetha Wohi Sikkandar with a difference that Pawan Kalyan is a kickboxer. Badri, directed by Poori Jagannath starring Pawan Kalyan, Amisha and Renu Desai is carried to a success range solely by Pawan Kalyan.
Kushi, released in 2001, created records. Kushi, his 7th movie, went on to get a gross of 20 crores.By 2002, Pawan Kalyan is shot to such a fame that Pepsi decided to pit him againt their arch rival coke, being promoted by his big brother, Chiranjeevi. Pawan Kalyan is never a media accessible person. Pawan Kalyan, in one of his interviews, commented that he is an artist and hence it's not him but his films that should do the talking.
After Kushi, Pawan Kalyan was in Japan for a brief period learing Akido martial art. That's for his debut directoral film Jhonny. The film had Renu Desai as lead actress. The film did not do great at the boxoffice but the movie has touching moments and became a canvas of Pawan's directoral skills.
