At a press briefing held on Thursday afternoon, Loksatta's Jayaprakash Narayan was all praise for Pawan Kalyan.

"He is a great film hero. He can stay at home comfortably. Lakhs of people pay to watch him. He is young and has a long career ahead. Yet, he is inviting troubles. Kori kashtalu tecchukuntunnaru. I appreciate him for that. His concern for our society is genuine. His desire for justice is strong," JP said.

The former legislator described Power Star as 'Sodarudu'.

Pawan said that a strategy should be designed to fight for justice to Andhra Pradesh from the Centre. Flanked by JP, the actor-politician called on all political parties and sections of society to come and stand united. "We have to fight democratically. Contradictory statements are coming from the leadership," he said.
