Bangaram is taking its own sweet time to arrive. The latest is that the film’s audio will be released in March while the movie maybe released in the last week.

But the delay has not unduly perturbed Pawan Kalyan, the film’s hero.

He knows that good things in life take time. Taj Mahal was not built overnight.

Ant any rate, Pawan Kalyan has it in him to see the bigger picture in life and not his film career alone. He knows movies are just a part of his life, albeit an important one.

The reluctant star, who has difficulty in conforming to image and hence is often misunderstood, has a philosophical streak in him. He can be both stoic and phlegmatic. That is the reason why he internalizes his failures, and more importantly, does not carried away by blinding success.

It is a strange but welcome quality to have in an industry that mostly values the outside and disregards the inside

Pawan has other interests outside movies. From martial arts to mind mapping, he dwells on many subjects. He thinks deeply and talks about stuff like organic farming and ecological maintenance.

Whether his films do well or not, a star like Pawan is needed for the industry.

Thinkers don’t come wrapped in glamour. But Pawan is a happy exception.
