Before coming into films, Pawan Kalyan was deeply interested in martial arts. He trained in Karate and earned a black belt. During a stage performance, he broke a glass slab to show his skills. People admired his strength and gave him the name “Pawan”, which means wind. Later, he added this name to his film career and became known as Pawan Kalyan.
His early movies like Tholi Prema, Thammudu, Badri, and Khushi made him a youth icon. He was loved not only for his action roles but also for his emotional and romantic performances. However, after some years, his career faced ups and downs. The big turning point came in 2012 with the movie Gabbar Singh, a remake of Salman Khan’s Dabangg. The film became a massive hit, and his simple yet powerful song performance also won the hearts of audiences.

Today, he is not just a film star but also the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.
Pawan Kalyan’s fans call him the “Demigod of Masses” because they see him as more than an actor. For them, he is a leader, fighter, and inspiration who dares to dream big. Even though he could earn huge money in films, he chose politics to make a difference in people’s lives.
