Chennai, April 28; The most talked about gup shup in Hyderabad is about everybody deserting Pawan Kalyan the POWER STAR after the debacle of Vakeel Saab . Talk is that except the producer of an upcoming film nobody was even near the actor when he was admitted in the hospital. Political circles are abuzz that BJP after taking advantage of Pawan's Janasena party in the Hyderabad civic polls ditched him after the beating at the box office.
The Jubilee Hill guys are wondering as to where the big brother great Chiru and his clan had vanished. The flop of Vakeel Saab is not the first in his career. This flop has more significance to his future as it also reflects on his political journey . The path he has charted seems to be a path to isolation from filmdom and politics. The very lone tusker attitude in filmdom and in public life as well his simplicity and frankness adhered him to the youth of the early 2000's.
Today ten years later, his BJP alliance has created a rift in his fan base , which should be by a rough estimate in their late forties or fifties. The rise of YSR and KCR has put Pawan in a spot as they seem to be more attractive as politicians to the actor's fan base.
As an industry watcher noted that when Pawan's films flopped earlier, the industry took it cooly and judged by the flaws in the making. Now it gets a mix of politically tainted response too and it does not help the actor.
To a hardcore Pawan fan, Vakeel Saab did not deliver the hit songs that he could be humming even if the flop flopped and that was the case for even the non Pawan fans.Johnny, gudumba shankar, balu, puli, teenmaar, panjaa, annavaram, bangaram had atleast 3-4 good songs that really made his fans to have expectations on each and every movie that released even after a flop. This made distributors go crazy about his movies, Vakeel Saab did not have that for his fans.
The lifestyle of an actor that is simple and his principles ( his party Janasena's moves and goals) made him a STAR that had surmounted his movie popularity and flops and hits no more matter, is what a die hard fan tells me. He says that nobody has a draw like Power Star in B&C centres and that the film is a profit and a bigger blockbuster abroad. Vested interests ( read political rivals and jealous family members) are spreading false rumours.
Fans are waiting for Pawan to recover from Covid 19 fatigue ( no idea what it means) and start work on remake of Ayyapanum Koshiyum Malayalam film with Rana. Also a period film with him playing a Robin Hood is on the floors.
Those who watched Pink should watch Vakeel Saab coming in Amazon on April 30 to know how films are tweaked to suit fan base of Power Star. Those who worked in Ayyapanum Koshiyum should watch to get an inkling of how their film would be tweaked for Power Star.
