The Moustache:
The Kalyan family is very proud of their identical moustaches. A similar one was sported by his brother Chiranjivi Kalyan. The moustache is a matter of dignity and pride for these men and quite frankly it lifts their overall looks into a more dignified one.
Modern Day Gabbar:
The most iconic role of this superstar was as a cop in Gabbar, which was a remake of the blockbuster Dabangg. His manly looks suit the role to the tee. His action hero aspect is an added plus as he had choreographed a few fight sequences too. Being Gabbar was never this stylish before.
The Thinking Actor:
Pawan Kalyan is often compared to Aamir Khan in Bollywood as he is extremely well read and a thinking actor who is a multi talented technician too.
Pawanism’s:
This man is truly a trend setter. The word Pawanism was coined by his fans to denote their love and frenzy for the actor. It has also been the name of a well researched book authored by one of his ardent fans. This is truly the highest form of adulation.
Pawan Kalyan is a success story that inspires millions. Surely a movie star’s life is far beyond makeup and he is a valid proof to this theory.
