In his interview to a tv channel, Power Star has said that RGV is a frustrated man whom he likes and respects. Asked why he doesn't react to RGV's comments on Twitter, Pawan said, "I like him as a person. He is a great filmmaker. But I really don't know how to react to his comments. (Smiles). It's not like I am hurt when he talks like that. He is frustrated. I never feel like hitting back at him. Promise! What I understand is that he wants me to be a perfectionist. He can't stand my defeat. I like him, but I can't write love letters to him."

Pawan further said, "I can't step back just because someone is dissuading me from doing something. (PK is pointing out at RGV's advice against releasing SGS in Hindi). My market has grown 30 times since my first film. Many did advise me back then to confine myself to a boundary. But I am not afraid of misses. I have no inner circle. RGV was angry when I said no to his story by name W/o Vara Prasad. He felt that I was arrogant. He later developed liking for me because I was proven right eventually. If I take inputs from someone and talk, I woudn't have been what I am today."
