If any hero has achieved the formidable task of taking heroism itself to a new high in recent times, it is Pawan Kalyan and Pawan alone. We are talking about his attitude in 'Gabbar Singh', of course. Raising the bar with his style, he showed what a hero can do to a film. Take him out, the film would have sunk without a trace. It is difficult to remember any film where another hero has achieved it so easily.
It's of no wonder that he is aptly called Power star. He was largely pooh-poohed for a good ten years when he continued to choose one bad script after a bland script. The fact that 'Teen Maar' incurred losses threateningly threw the hint that Pawan was a fading phenomenon or so we thought rather wrongly.
In less than a year after Mahesh was deified to the status previously occupied by the Megastar, 'Gabbar Singh' announced the arrival of a resurgent and formidable Pawan. When we had almost given up the hope that Pawan would ever feel the need to reinvent himself, he had earlier come up with a brilliant, under-stated performance in 'Panjaa'. If that was for the discerning audience, the 'Gabbar Singh' treat was whole-heartedly for the mass audience.
Just as 'Khushi' catapulted him to stardom, 'Gabbar Singh' has made us expect much more from Pawan. Will he deliver it in 'CGTR'?
Though now he is seen rarely in the films nowadays. More than 'CGTR' and the yet to be titled film with Trivikram, his Bollywood debut (to be produced by Konda Krishnam Raju) has catered every one’s eye. Will he enthuse the audience there? Pawan is already quite popular with some Bollywood heroes, especially Salman Khan. Will he continue to do more films after that?
It would be repeating the same thing like a stuck recorder to talk about his seven back-to-back hits at first. Then, unfortunately flops followed. Every time someone dared to relegate him to the sidelines, his films released amidst unprecedented hype and hoopla, often opening with record collections.
We wish him a very eventful year ahead!
