Pawan Vs Common Man

Andhrudu Aarambhashoorudu antaaru. Chiranjeevi adi kaadu.

Pawan Kalyan's recent announcement of a "Force" for the protection of Common man has come in the wake of the Srija-Sirish controversy. The timing of such an announcement comes into question for the general media whose other face is the "Common man".

Over the years Chiranjeevi has displayed unflinching commitment to serving the society. Such a return to the society is the result of 25 years of hard work, perseverance and passion. A state that has not only rubbed off to members of his family but also to fans associations and millions of likers across the Telugu speaking world. In one perspective - a third of his life was spent in making himself, a third of his life will be spent in serving the society and another third for his personal front.

Pawan Kalyan as we know him has been one stubborn nut and a stickler to perfection, albeit in his own right. His prodigal brother gave him his first break, which din't help much. After that Pawan Kalyan earned a winning streak of 5 films. What stood out however in these movies was an actor's will to be different within this extreme commercial format. A solidly established track that defied everyone's expectations, sometimes which might have even gone against the Megastar's recommendations, soon came to an end with a string of flops. Unlike Chiranjeevi, his repertoire constituted solely playing it to the galleries. Pawan Kalyan is known for his mannerisms, not for his acting or solid performances.

Their social service patterns would also follow the same track that their career patterns have evolved into. Chiranjeevi's meticulous planning of his future, his career, his skills (as an actor) are just parameters that just spilled into his social service activities as well. He's considered a brother to all in the Telugu fim fraternity and the same trait has followed him all the way to his fans and his patrons. This character will span the rest of his lifetime in whatever activity he will involve himself into, be it politics, graceful retirement or what have you. It is this same character that has enabled his composure during the Srija-Sirish controversy and it will be the same character that will help him wither any storm. Unlike Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan was never known to be the best brother in the world. He hasn't yet completed the painstaking 'process' of taking successes and failures alike and becoming an accomplished actor. At the moment, he is at best half-baked. Whatever run he will have with CMPF/CPF will be with the support of the force that he has garnered over the past decade, but more than that will be due to the backing that he is facilitated by his brother.

We all need an organization that does what CMPF/CPF proposes to do. However, the activities of such an organization will come into question more often than not. Unlike so, in what his brother had chosen as a form of giving back - Blood and Vision, a much peaceful form. Will CMPF/CPF be backed by some level of violence? How will it find the middle ground? Given an issue, who will be the judge of what's correct and what's not? What's the solution it has to offer to the Srija-Sirish case? I have no doubt that Pawan has been toying with this noble idea for a long time and now has a lot more questions to answer. If you ask me if my wishes are with CMPF/CPF, sure they are and they ought to be, but has he got the timing of it right? I don't think so.
