Pawan Kalyan has said that he is not interested to invite film celebs to campaign for him. There is a reason.

"There may be actors who are more popular than me. But I am not dependent on anybody's or my own stardom. I am dependent on my own political ideology," the Jana Sena chief says.

Why not invite Ram Charan, who is ready to campaign for Jana Sena candidates? "Stardom is useful only to pull the crowds. Rest depends on your ability to speak, your political thinking, etc. The speaker should have an awareness of issues," he says.

What does he have to say about his long-time friend and actor Ali joining the YCP? "Maybe Ali felt that Jaganmohan Reddy garu is a very strong leader. Maybe, he didn't get what he wanted from Chandrababu Naidu garu. It's his choice. It's not wrong on his part to make a choice," Pawan signs off.
