The presence of Megastar was no consolation for the fans of the Mega Family. The thousands of fans who attended the audio release function of Racha were disappointed that Pawan was not seen on the stage. What was least expected was that they would turn restive and throw water packets as if they were political agitators. The posse of security personnel could do nothing to stop the restive fans, but made it a point to catch hold of the packets flying in the air to stop them from wetting the VIPs!

All the time when the programme went for good three hours, many fans kept shouting 'Power Star.. Power Star', on again, off again. They could not reconcile to the fact that Pawan was absent.

Charan took it upon himself to placate the fans. He said that Babai was not in the town and that he was to the US on Gabbar Singh’s graphics work.

Meanwhile, Pawan's absence added fuel to the speculation that has been rife since Panjaa's audio release, that there is a rift between Chiru and Pawan. None had made it to the audio release function of Panjaa, except his son! Charan's statement that Pawan would have been present had the function been held on March 4, did not cut much ice with the public.
