Pawan Kalyan will now step back from acting due to his priorities as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh since June 2024. Earlier, in an interview with ABN, he revealed that he tried to complete filming his projects before the elections. He said, “When I signed these three films, I had planned to complete them before the elections. However, I lost crucial time before the elections due to some political incidents.”
“I asked the producers of all three films to forgive me because I needed a few more days to complete the films. Even after I came into power, I took time to shoot for films and only did it for two hours a day,” he added.
