Real heroes are not created by directors they create themselves !

Directors like Rajamouli, Trivikram, Puri Jaganadh have had their share in bringing out the talent of our current super stars and in giving them an image makeover or image overhaul for some. Like if Rajamouli had boosted the image of one of our super stars from time to time, Puri was responsible in bringing the desired image makeover to turn another star into commercial Superstar but it was Mr Konidela Pawan Kalyan himself with his unique, creative, and never-before-seen fights in the film “Badri”, his crazy dialogue delivery in “Khushi”, his hippie outfits in “Gudumba Shankar” and “Balu” is responsible for creating an indelible impression on Telugu cinephiles as POWERSTAR!

Which is why while rest of the “super” stars are requesting top directors to plan a movie with them the moment they score a hit – in the case of Pawan , its the other way round the top directors are willing to wait years for that “okka chance” to direct Pawan Kalyan.

 Yes!! Ainakonchem tikka undhi, kaani daaniko lekknundhi :

After attaining the pinnacle of craze by introducing different shades of himself through the first six consecutive successful movies (Suswagatham, Gokulam Lo Seeta, Tholi Prema, Thammudu, Badri, Khushi) – Pawan could have continued the streak by joining hands with top notch directors and could have paved way to the superstardom comparable to the likes of Chiranjeevi and Rajnikanth, but his “thikka” of being and doing things differently and in his own way led him to grab the megaphone and direct himself to deliver the movie Johnny.

Many of you will contend that Johnny is a DISASTER ! Hell yeah!! It was !!! Johnny is a disaster critically, its a disaster commercially and its a disaster most popularly!! But,

Johnny will always be in the top 5 TFI all time movies with respect to its cinematography.
No other movie in TFI has ever had or will ever have the pre-release euphoria like that of Johnny.
There won’t be a Pawan Kalyan fan who does not like the movie Johnny .
If there is any flop movie than can make fans to beam with pride its J for J O H N N Y !
Last but not least Johnny was the stepping stone that led to the cult status that Pawan has attained today.
