Actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan needs no introduction. He is the youngest brother of popular actor Chiranjeevi and predominantly works in the Telugu film industry. The actor made his acting debut in 1996 with the Telugu film Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi. But he garnered a huge fan base after appearing in the 2012 action comedy film Gabbar Singh. The film on Thursday completed 11 years of its release. So today, let’s take a look at the total box office collection of Pawan Kalyan starrer Gabbar Singh.
Gabbar Singh, directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Bandla Ganesh, was the official remake of the 2010 Hindi film Dabangg. The movie featured Pawan Kalyan and Shruti Haasan as the main leads. The music for the movie was composed by Devi Sri Prasad and created a sensation among the fans.
