Film Career:

Allu Arjun's debut as an actor, was in a Telugu movie named Daddy which was produced by his father. His first movie where he played the lead actor was Gangotri which was directed by K.Raghavendra Rao.

His second film Arya, which was released in 2004 was a hit at the box office. It was Arjun's first major hit.

In 2005, his third film Bunny was released. His fourth film Happy which was released in 2006 did not prove to be as successful as his previous ones. The film managed to make a decent profit in the Indian movie scene in the U.S. He is best known for his dancing skill and style.


In 2007, his fifth film, Desamuduru, directed by Puri Jagannadh, proved to be a box office hit and the first hit of the year in Tollywood. This movie grossed 12.58 crores and a share of Rs. 9.5 crores worldwide in the first week of its release. This opening remains his highest so far in his career. In the same year, he also made a guest appearance in his uncle, Chiranjeevi's film, Shankardada Zindabad.


In May 2008, his sixth film Parugu was released, which was directed by Bhaskar.
All of Allu Arjun's movies except Gangotri were translated into Malayalam. Desamudrudu was renamed to Hero and Parugu was renamed to Krishna when dubbed. This helped him gain some popularity in the state of Kerala where his movies were received well.


After the super hit of Bunny (2005), Stylish Star Allu Arjun is all set to team up with director V.V. Vinayak again in a commercial flick to be produced by hit maker Allu Aravind under the banner of Geetha Arts. This film is expected to go on floors in June.

The third schedule will start in April end and will continue till the entire shooting is complete.Then later he is a planning of ating in a tamil film Whih is going to directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon.



Besides acting in films, Arjun is deeply passionate about photography. He is particularly fond of still photography. Taking pictures is something he has been doing for many years now.

Arjun says that deep down he is a shy and reserved person who hates to talk about his intimate feelings and about the people he is close to. This is where photography fills the gap.


The actor says this hobby gives him an emotional release.

"I find it very hard to talk about my relationships…that's where the photography in me surfaces. It helps me to exteriorize my thoughts," Arjun adds that he takes photos only for himself and has no intention of publishing them or even showing them to anyone.

Allu Arjun quotes:

* “Donate blood once or twice per year. If you spare a ten minutes, that little time can save a human life. It’s not a message it’s my request.”

* “I do read personality development books most of the film. My all time favorite has been ‘Who moved my cheese’ by Dr. Spenser Johnson.”

* “I watched Indra from 14-15 times. I absolutely love that film. Tagore I watched about 6-7 times. I would have watched it for many more number of times, but time did not permit me. Every time I watch Indra, I find something fresh and new in it.”


* “I love unknown places. Suppose if I have seen some program about Spain, immediately I get more details about that country and love to visit it. Like that I want to see almost all places in the world.”

* “All I care about is a good script. For me the target audience is not the priority. All that matter to me is to be a part of good film.”

* “My background is my strength. My determination is also strength. I am flexible. I am adaptable both mentally and physically. The character of ‘Arya’ is a reflection of my ownself.”


* ” I know where I stand now. I want to go up and be among the top bracket. I am in the rat race. I am running and I want to run in the future.”

* “I have taken interest in production. I want to give a good film to the people with high technical values. I prefer spending more on postproduction.”

Quote: It's a criminal waste to idle away your life. If you aren't sleeping you must keep yourself engaged doing something constructive. That is good also for people around you because you radiate positive vibes


Konidela Kalyan Babu, youngest brother of the Telugu Matinee Idol Megastar Chiranjeevi christened his name as Pawan Kalyan with his first film Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi in 1996.

Today Pawan Kalyan is an Icon for the Box Office Power House with his top notch opening collections and scintillating performances. His image and craze among the trade circles and the public is just near to Chiranjeevi. In the career spanning 11 years, he has performed all shades of roles and was well appreciated by the masses. His 13th movie is under shoot and Geetha arts is producing the film. He is the only star in the current generation who dared to direct a movie when his career was in peek.

Biography

Pawan Kalyan, the hero who could get huge following with just 6 movies to his credit and able to make his 7th movie grossing more than 20 crores, is a simple, humble and away-from-publicity guy. Media is always keen on him as they know nothing about him.

Pawan Kalyan was well resourced when he stepped into films. His big brother Megastar Chiranjeevi's ardent fan following getting ready to embrace the launch of another member from the Mega family, his second brother Nagababu - a producer, his brother-in-law Allu Aravind - an ace producer. What else would one need?


Pawan Kalyan was first married to Nandini, whom he divorced on 13 August 2008. Pawan Kalyan has been married to Renu Desai (On 28 January 2009) , a co-star, who is currently owning a design store called Designs. The happy couple are blessed with one son, Akira. Despite his latest release and directorial debut, the hugely expensive Johnny, faring disastrously at the box office, actor Pawan Kalyan's place among the top five stars in the Telugu film industry remains secure, at least for now.

Kalyan, younger brother of Megarstar Chiranjeevi, created a record in the Telugu film industry by selling Johnny for a record-breaking Rs 210 million and releasing it in more than 300 theatres. Viewers made a beeline for the first few shows, but the tragic tale of a young man running from pillar to post to save his cancer-stricken wife failed to click with the audiences.

His fans felt that if Kalyan had made a youthful entertainer -- the sort he's known for -- the distributors would have laughed all the way to the bank. A few industry bigwigs praised his directorial ability, but others questioned the choice of subject for his debut venture.

Kalyan's disappointed fans, however, are already looking forward to his next film, produced by his other brother Nagababu. Directed by Veerasankar, it stars Meera Jasmine as his leading lady. He is also working on a film directed by Karunakaran for ace producer Aswini Dutt. It remains to be seen which film reaches the theatres first.

Shy by nature, Kalyan dreamt of becoming a film technician. It was Chiranjeevi's wife Surekha who convinced him to become an actor. Chiranjeevi's brother-in-law Allu Aravind launched Kalyan with great fanfare in Akada Abbai Ikkada Ammayi, but the movie failed to make an impact at the box office.

Film Career

Though Pawan Kalyan was launched in a big way with Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi in 1996, all one could see in him was Chiranjeevi's brother. Continued the same trend for another two movies - Gokulamlo Sita and Suswagatham. 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 and so did the image of Pawan Kalyan. Tholi Prema is a milestone in Pawan Kalyan's career. It is the movie which made the audience recognize the talent him.

Thammudu, another blockbuster followed, is a remake of Jo Jeetha Wohi Sikkandar with a difference that Pawan Kalyan is a kickbocxer.

Kalyan teamed up with a new director, Puri Jagannath, for his next film, Badri (1999). His superstardom was evident when the movie traded for an astronomical sum, leaving the Telugu industry amazed and his critics carping. But Kalyan silenced them when the love story opened well and went on to make a huge profit.


Badri's action sequences were well appreciated by the audiences and added a new dimension to Kalyan's loverboy image. "I pick those down-to-earth characters to identify myself with a wider section of the youth," said the PowerStar. He consciously began to increase the gap between his releases.

Producer A M Ratnam signed him for a remake of his Tamil hit Khushi. The movie exploited Kalyan's loverboy-cum-action hero image. The ego clashes between the protagonists (Kalyan and Boomika) were widely appreciated and the film went on to become the biggest hit of his career, grossing Rs 27 crore (approximately US $5.72 million).


Pawan Kalyan is, as reported by media by then, involves himself in other aspects of the film too. Though few criticize that, it's his responsibility and commitment to the project that makes him take care of everything. And ofcourse, it worked each and every time. Kushi, released in 2001, created records. Kushi, his 7th movie, went on to get a gross of 20 crores.

By this time, he had stopped interacting with the local press and even skipped the press meets organised to cover his films. He only granted interviews to a few English magazines, but later discontinued this practice as well. He shot his debut venture in a low-profile manner and shrouded it in secrecy. The media were warned against using stills of Johnny without permission.


Just before the film's release, Kalyan was in the news when he accused the Deccan Chronicle Group of publications of making baseless allegations against him and his brother, Chiranjeevi. He, Nagababu and Allu Aravind staged a dharna before its office in Secunderabad, with fans organising a rasta roko (road blockade) in his support.

Pawan made his first official directorial debut with Johnny, for which he traveled to Japan to get trained in martial art Aikido. Renu Desai and himself cast as lead actors, the film did not do well at the box-office. Gudumba Shankar (2004), for which Pawan contributed screenplay miserably failed to reach the expectations of the audience. Balu (2005) by Vyjayanthi Films didn't do too well. His next movie Bangaram was average. Annavaram (2007) was good grosser.


Jalsa (2008), is the most widely released south Indian picture ever (approximately 1000 theaters worldwide). The movie hit the screens with high expectations and created record of collecting more than 42 crores with in 50 days of its release another big hit in Pawan's Career. Currently he is acting in a film named Komaram Puli directed by S.J Suryah, cinematography by twice IIFA award winner Binod Pradan and music of this film is given by the Oscar award winner A.R.Rehman.

Politics
Pawan Kalyan is involved in the State politics of Andhra Pradesh. He is campaigning for the Praja Rajyam Party, which is led by his own brother Chiranjeevi. He was appointed as the president of Yuva Rajyam, the youth wing of Praja Rajyam.

Media
Media have every reason to misinterpret him. They write a lot about him. He was completely down after Johnny. What he thought of Johnny and what got translated on screen was very different. He compensated the distributors' loss. He have always shared the loss and no one talks about it. Nevertheless, he is a very content person and he never felt that he should use media to justify his actions. He always thinks that movies are the only source of media for him to interact with the audience and his fans. The fact that he has not celebrated even a single 'Success Meet' or a function after his movie reaches a landmark shows his modesty and simplicity. His sheer disinterest in media is the reason for the bad propagation about him in the media. Also Pawan did not receive any award for his movies so far as he is not media friendly. The fact that he did not receive the Best Actor award for Khushi in 2001, the year in which Telugu film industry was in crisis shows the non-cooperation of media to him.

Social Work
Pawan Kalyan has started an organization called Common Man Protection Force(CMPF) in October 2007. He has contributed 1 crore INR towards the corpus fund, CMPF aims to solve the social problems, help the neglected sections of the society, in India. He makes sure that all this films have a message for the viewers, making them aware of the problems in the society and quest towards the solutions. He is a person who always questions his motives constantly.

Great Respect for women
Pawan in all his movies made sure that women are never insulted ..proof for it would be that there were no double meaning dailogues, irritating club songs, underplayed roles of heroine. You can go with your family and enjoy his movies always.

Great musical and Lyrical values
According to Keeravani a great music director , Pawan is one of very few who got great music taste and judgement...We can understand as all his movies are great muscial hits..Pawan has great love towards good literature and lyrical values...All lyrics in his movies have good lyrical values and underlying message.

Keeping Low profile created Wrong perception
Pawan is very private person and always keeps low profile of himself. And tries to keep away from media. That was taken as advantage by some yellow journalits and a section of media to create hypothetical , imaginary and cock and bull stories about Pawan kalyan. As we all are aware , major percentage of people will be just carried away by gossips and fake news rather than having good inputs , analyzing things and then coming to a decision...some people got wrong perception about him.

Others about Power Star
Madhu Ambat ( great cinematographer)...."I have hardly seen youngsters who have that much great knowledge and clarity on film making. Pawan is one of them and he always thrives for perfection."
A.M. Ratnam ( a veteran film maker-Surya Movies) ... " To the extent of my knowledge, there are only two people who have great judgement and crystal clarity on commercial film making in south India..one is Rajnikanth and another is Pawan kalyan".
Trivikram Srinivas... " He is one of the greatest personalities I have ever met. I got inspired and have learnt many things from him...He is not only a reel life hero but also a real life Hero."
Surya ( Veteran actor --gold medalist in Asian school of drama)..." I have noticed an approach like a hollywood director in him. His hardwork and passion for better output inspired me a lot."

Pawan Kalyan was 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.

But after the intro of Chiranjeevi into the political arena with his party Prajarajyam,Pawan Kalyan also has shared his set of controversies both in career and in life such as his well publicised divorce,and the elope of Chiranjeevi's daughter.
