2 decades of Pawan Kalyan: Telugu superstar completes 20 years in film industry

Telugu superstar and film producer Pawan Kalyan completed 20 years as an actor on Tuesday, 11 October. He made his acting debut on 11 October, 1996, with Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbay - the Telugu remake of the 1988 Bollywood blockbuster Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. The film was a super hit at the Box Office. He followed it up with six other back-to-back hits.

In a career spanning 20 years, Pawan Kalyan has acted in 23 films. Interestingly, most of his films were remakes of Tamil and Bollywood hits. Two of the biggest hits of his career, Gabbar Singh and Gopala Gopala, were remakes of Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar's super hits, Dabangg and Oh My God.

However, his 2016 release, Sardar Gabbar Singh was a massive failure at the Box Office.
