Celebrating Pawan Kalyan: From Power Star to Deputy Chief Minister
Hyderabad, September 2, 2025 — Today marks the 54th birthday of Konidela Pawan Kalyan, a man whose life has been a cinematic saga of transformation—from a beloved movie icon to a formidable political force. As the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and the founder of Jana Sena Party, Pawan Kalyan continues to inspire millions with his unwavering commitment to public service and principled leadership.
From Silver Screen to Social Service
Pawan Kalyan made his acting debut in 1996 with Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi, but it was Tholi Prema (1998) that cemented his place as a youth icon. With hits like Kushi, Gabbar Singh, Attarintiki Daredi, and Jalsa, he earned the moniker “Power Star,” captivating audiences with his charisma and martial arts prowess.
Yet, fame never distracted him from deeper concerns. In 2014, he founded the Jana Sena Party, vowing to be the voice of the common man. His political journey was marked by activism—raising issues like land acquisition, farmer distress, and environmental degradation.
Rise to Deputy Chief Minister
In the 2024 Andhra Pradesh elections, Pawan Kalyan’s alliance with the TDP and BJP proved decisive. Jana Sena won all 21 MLA seats and 2 MP seats it contested. Pawan himself secured a landslide victory from Pithapuram, and was sworn in as Deputy Chief Minister on June 12, 2024.
He currently oversees key portfolios including:
- Panchayat Raj
- Rural Development & Water Supply
- Environment, Forests, Science & Technology
His governance style is hands-on and reform-driven. Notably, he orchestrated Grama Sabhas in 13,326 villages in a single day, a feat recognized as a world record.
Birthday Wishes Pour In
Today, tributes have flooded in from across the political and entertainment spectrum:
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted:
“Best wishes to Pawan Kalyan on his birthday. He’s made a mark in the hearts and minds of countless people. He is strengthening the NDA in Andhra Pradesh by focusing on good governance.”
