It was an unique launch. Normally Pawan Kalyan shies away from speaking at his film launches and press meets. But for his second directorial venture, Satyagrahi, he looks changed and seems very confidant about himself. He has opened up his heart at the launch ceremony of the film that was held today (March 25, 2006) at Annapoorna Studios in a grand scale.

Union Minister Dasari Narayana Rao did the pooja ceremony, Allu Aravind and hero Venkatesh graced the occasion as special guests. Pawan’s mother, his wife Renu Desai and his other family members were also present. Chiranjeevi could not attend the function as he was in Chennai.

This is also the first time in a long time that a Pawan film launched amidst his fans. Hundreds of fans attended the ceremony and he humbly accepted their garlands and delivered a long speech (for a man who hardly utters a word at public functions, talking about the film for 15 minutes is really unique).

Cinematographer P C Sriram flew down from Chennai to can the muhurat shot. Producer A M Rathnam made arrangements in grand scale.

Satyagrahi is my outcry: Pawan Kalayan

“ Normally I don’t like to talk about my films. But this time I want to tell you something. I have been thinking about the misery of the people since my childhood. I have always been pained by the plight of the common man. My heart aches when I see injustices in the society but I didn’t know how to express them. I don’t know much about politics.

But when I was studying at a missionary school a brat who used to beat all the students was elected as student leader. I was surprised and asked my friends how did headmistress allow him to field in elections. The replied, “That is politics”. Since than I have been thinking about the political system and injustice in society

I have been conveying my feelings through songs in my films. “Yeh..Jaha..” and “Le..Le..” songs are examples for this.

Satyagrahi is about a student leader who rebels against this system. This is not a documentary. We are making this film to entertain you. It would have all the elements – entertainment, songs, message and everything, yet it reflects today’s socio-political system.

I always treat my fans as brothers. Though my brother Chiranjeevi could not attend the function, I see him in every one of you (fans). "

Producer A M Rathnam, Allu Aravind, Allu Arjun and Venkatesh also spoke at the occasion. Satyagrahi is being produced in Telugu and Hindi and is also being planned to release in Bengali.
