The sudden announcement of Pawan Kalyan’s new film, directed by Surender Reddy and produced by Ram Talluri—who is also a member of Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena Party—has delighted fans.
However, it has also sparked debate about Pawan Kalyan’s commitment to cinema amid his growing political responsibilities.
According to industry insiders, Pawan Kalyan agreed to officially announce the project only after Surender Reddy and writer Vakkantham Vamsi presented him with a tightly bound script along with a clearly planned shooting schedule.
Sources reveal that Pawan Kalyan is not keen on long, continuous shooting schedules. Instead, he prefers compact, well-planned mini schedules lasting two to three days or, at most, a week.
He followed a similar approach with director Harish Shankar, who successfully completed “Ustaad Bhagat Singh” through meticulous planning and efficient scheduling.
Surender Reddy is said to have agreed to these conditions as well.
Known earlier for taking extended time due to his emphasis on technical finesse and a slick narrative style, the director is reportedly adapting his working style for this project to accommodate Pawan Kalyan’s availability.
This shift underlines how the film is being structured around Pawan Kalyan’s dual focus on cinema and public life.
