Back in 1996 staring stealthily at movie wall posters and banners while walking to School and making an entry of the release dates and the number of days a particular Movie has run into my mind’s movie registers was a pretty common thing for me. One fine day I glimpsed at this weird poster which had nothing but “ee abbai meeku telusa” (Do you know this guy?) written on it. The poster remained for about 45 days with the posters getting changed every week with content on it being same. Eventually, they released this first look of Pawan kalyan couple of weeks before the release of the movie “Akkada Ammai Ikkada Abbai” revealing his name as Kalyan. While the film managed only a mediocre run at the box office, the only thing that surfaced out of the movie was Kalyan’s skill with martial arts which were elegantly presented in the movie.
Due to my limited means, as a kid, I did not get to watch his next couple of movies Suswagatham and Gokulam lo Seeta. Nevertheless I kept track of the statistics and gossip about these movies through newspapers – enough to know that Gokulam lo seeta ended as a hit while Suswagatham went on to become a Super hit.
