Pawan Kalyan made his acting debut in the 1996 film Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi . His next six films were all box-office successes — Gokulamlo Seeta (1997), Suswagatham (1998), Tholi Prema (1998), Thammudu (1999), Puri Jagannadh's Badri (2000), and S. J. Suryah's Kushi (2001) . [1] [2] [3]

Kalyan made his directorial debut with Johnny (2003), which was a box office failure. [4] He followed this with a string of underperforming films: Gudumba Shankar (2004), [5] Balu (2005), [6] Bangaram (2006), [7] and Annavaram (2006). [8] After a gap, the film Jalsa (2008) directed by Trivikram Srinivas became a box office success. [9] He collaborated with Suryah again for Puli (2010), which was a box office debacle. [10] Teen Maar (2010) and Panjaa (2011) were released to mixed reviews. [11] [12]

The film Gabbar Singh (2012) was released to positive reviews and was a blockbuster at the box office, marking his comeback after three back-to -back failures. [13] Kalyan's second film with Puri Jagannadh was Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu (2012), which was released to above average reviews. [14] Trivikram Srinivas's Attarintiki Daredi (2013) became the highest grossing Telugu film of all time surpassing Magadheera (2009). [15]

Gopala Gopala (2015) co-starring Venkatesh was a success while Sardaar Gabbar Singh , [16] Katamarayudu , [17] and Agnyaathavaasi received negative reviews. [18] [19] Vakeel Saab (2021), the masala-laced adaptation of the courtroom drama Pink (2016), received positive reviews. [20] His next film, Bheemla Nayak (2022), was successful and ended up becoming the fourth highest-grossing Telugu film of 2022. In his upcoming film OG, Pawan Kalyan portrays a character who will sacrifice everything, even his life, for the people.
