The audio launch of Pawan Kalyan’s Agnyaathavaasi was the cynosure of all eyes in Hyderabad on Tuesday evening as thousands of the star’s fans thronged to the venue to catch a glimpse of their matinee idol. It was one of the most anticipated events and it was pulled off on a lavish scale without any hassles. The film, which marks the third time collaboration of Pawan Kalyan and director Trivikram, is gearing up for release on 10 January next year, timed with the Sankranti festival.
The event saw the participation of the entire cast and crew of the film, which has music by Anirudh Ravichander who mesmerised audiences with his live performance. One of the highlights of the event was when Pawan Kalyan clicked a selfie with a fan who managed to sneak up on him on stage. When security personnel tried to stop the fan, Pawan Kalyan intervened and gladly got a selfie clicked.
“My heart always beats for my fans” says Pawan Kalyan
Pawan Kalyan thanked his fans for always standing by him. “I need to thank my nation for giving me this kind of love and affection through cinema. Firstly, let me apologise to all those people who couldn’t gain entry to the venue. We have a space constraint so we couldn’t accommodate each and every one of you. But there’s place for each of you in my heart,” he said, amidst rousing response.
He said he never expected he’d earn so much love and affection from his fans. “I’ve always wanted to do something good and give back to the society. I believe I’m able to achieve that through cinema and politics. When I started my career, I told my family I’d do 10-12 films. Post Kushi, I thought of doing five more films and calling it quits because I wanted to serve our nation. But, the love of my fans has made me do 25 films.”
