AM Ratnam meets Pawan Kalyan on occasion

  • IndiaGlitz, [Friday,April 27 2018]

It was today in 2001 that 'Khushi' was released.  Directed by SJ Suryah, this rom-com starrer Pawan Kalyan and Bhumika Chawla in the lead.  

Produced on Sri Surya Movies by AM Ratnam, it was a blockbuster hit.  Marking the completion of 17 years today, the producer went to meet with Power Star at Hyderabad's Jana Sena office.  I have come here to present a bouquet to Pawan Kalyan garu.  We had a chit-chat and he turned nostalgic, the producer said.

Ratnam had been decisive about doing a film with Pawan ever since he watched 'Badri'. 'Khushi', the Telugu remake of Vijay-starrer 'Khushi' (Tamil), was such a massive hit because of its freshness, great performances, outstanding music by Mani Sharma, and SJ Suryah's brilliant treatment.  The action sequences, conceived by Pawan himself, became a rage.
