Pawan is said to have his own distinct style of acting from the first film that he had done. He had a series of super hits in a row. He also directed his own movie "johnny" which had a distinct hollywood style direction with never before seen picturization.

Kalyan, the hero who could get huge following with just 6 movies to his credit and able to make his 7th movie grossing more than 20 crores, is a simple, humble and away-from-publicity guy. Media is always keen on him as they know nothing about him.

His big brother Megastar Chiranjeevi's ardent fan following getting ready to embrace the launch of another member from the Mega family, his second brother Nagababu - a producer, his brother-in-law Allu Aravind - an ace producer. What else would one need?

Though Kalyan was launched in a big way with Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi in 1996, all one could see in him was Chiranjeevi's brother. Continued the same trend for another two movies - Gokulamlo Sita and Suswagatham. Kalyan's discipline and dedication comes from the martial arts that he has been practising. To clarify some of the critics comments about his martial arts skills, Kalyan demonstrated a show amidst a huge audience at Ravindra Barathi. He was awarded the title "Pawan", symbolising Lord Hanuman for his energy. Hence Kalyan was rechristend as Pawan Kalyan.

In 1998, Tholi Prema released. It initially started out low profile but the treatement and the storyline along with melodious and balanced music by Deva took the movie to great heights and so did the image of Kalyan. Tholi Prema is a milestone in Kalyan's career. It is the movie which made the audience recognize the talent him.

Thammudu, another blockbuster followed, is a remake of Jo Jeetha Wohi Sikkandar with a difference that kalyan is a kickbocker. Badri, directed by Poori Jagannath starring Kalyan, Amisha and Renu Desai is carried to a success range solely by Kalyan.

Kalyan is, as reported by media by then, involves himself in other aspects of the film too. Though few criticize that, it's his responsibility and commitment to the project that makes him take care of everything. And ofcourse, it worked each and every time. Kushi, released in 2002, created records. Kushi, his 7th movie, went on to get a gross of 20 crores.

By 2002, Kalyan is shot to such a fame that Pepsi decided to pit him againt their arch rival coke, being promoted by his big brother, Chiranjeevi. Kalyan is never a media accessible person. Kalyan, in one of his interviews, commented that he is an artist and hence it's not him but his films that should do the talking.

After Kushi, Kalyan was in Japan for a brief period learing Akido martial art. His directoral debut Jhonny is slated to release in April of 2003. According to the reports, the movie has some unique martial art sequences that will stand out. Ramana Gogula, who composed music for Thammudu and Badri, composes the music for this film too.
