In an interview to an English-language daily, Mega hero Varun Tej has described himself as his Pedananna Chiranjeevi's "pet". He seconds the opinion of Sushmitha Konidela, who recently said that Megastar was never this happier ever since he bid adieu to cinema to join politics, returning from the shoot tired, but with a smile on his face.

As for Babai Pawan Kalyan, Varun has fond memories as a child and a teenager. Saying that Powerstar had once bought for him a toy gun while returning from Switzerland, the 'Mister' and 'Fida' actor informs that the thinking Babai instilled in him (and Sai Dharam Tej) a lot of values.

When Varun wanted to become an actor, Pawan Kalyan admittedly advised him to offer the audience something unique so they would want to spend their bucks on him.

Yes ,Varun did digest the Babai's lesson. His growing maturity as an actor is proof enough. What say, folks?
