It was on this day in 2003 that 'Johnny', Pawan Kalyan's first directorial and box-office flop, hit the screens. The actor-politician on Saturday became nostalgic on Twitter when his musician-friend Ramana Gogula remembered it.

"Dear Pawan Kalyan, it only feels like yesterday that we were sitting down and composing music for Jhonny! Can't believe it has been 17 years. What a journey life has been since then! Congratulations on this celebration of Johnny! Stay safe my friend!" Gogula tweeted out.

Moments later, the 'Vakeel Saab' actor thanked Gogula and said, "I truly enjoyed working with you. They were fun-filled and highly energetic creative moments. All the best mate. Cheers!"

The action movie starred Renu Desai, then Power Star's wife, as the female lead. The film was deemed uncreative and dull even by the actor's die-hard fans.

Dear @PawanKalyan, it only feels like yesterday that we were sitting down and composing music for Jhonny! Cannot believe it been 17 years . . . .

What a journey life has been since then!

Congratulations on this celebration of Johnny!
