Coming Up: Pawan Kalyan's journey so far...

Pawan Kalyan (Konidela Kalyan Babu) was born on September 2, 1971.

Pawan Kalyan made his acting debut at age 25, with Akkada Abbai Ikkada Ammayi, as Kalyan Babu.

He is the youngest brother of megastar Chiranjeevi and producer Nagendra Babu.

Pawan married his Badri and Johnny co-star Renu Desai in 2009.

Their son Akira Nandan was born in 2004 and in 2010, daughter Aadhya was born.

He was the first South star to endorse Pepsi, raising eyebrows at the time since his brother Chiranjeevi was the face of Thums Up.

The actor holds a Black Belt in martial arts. This skill was highlighted in his first film.

His first film, Akkada Abbai Ikkada Ammayi, released in 1996. It also debuted Supriya, the grand-daughter of Akkineni Nageswara Rao. The movie received an average rating.c

In 1997, Pawan starred in Gokulamlo Seetha (a remake of the Tamil film Gokulathil Seethai) opposite Raasi. Directed by Muthyala Subbaiah and produced by G.V.G. Raju, this movie made Pawan Kalyan the hero of the masses. It completed its 100 day run in 11 theaters.

Suswagatham the following year brought Pawan more acclaim as it attracted the youth. This movie played a major role in transforming this star into a big commercial hero in Tollywood.

Tholi Prema, also in 1998, was a huge hit. The movie was received so well by the masses that it was later made in Hindi as Mujhe Kuch Kehna hai starring Kareena Kapoor and Tusshar Kapoor.

The film won the National Award for Best Feature Film (Telugu) and a slew of Nandi Awards.

Thammudu (1999) starred Pawan Kalyan, Preeti Jhangiani, Aditi Govitrikar, Achyuth, Chandra Mohan and Mallikarjuna Rao.

The film was a blockbuster.

Another blockbuster to his name, Badri starred Pawan Kalyan, Amisha Patel and Pawan's wife Renu Desai in lead roles.

Kushi, opposite Bhumika Chawla, was another turning point in Kalyan's career.

He showed perfection in every department, from dialogue delivery to fighting and dancing. This film has four fights, which are extraordinary, and the specialty of these fights is that Pawan Kalyan himself composed them all.

The dip in Kalyan's career arrived with Johnny in 2003. The film was written and directed By Pawan himself. He also starred in the film opposite his real life wife Renu Desai.

Criticised for being too involved in the movie, this was the first flop in Pawan Kalyan's career.

Gudumba Shankar was a 2004 Telugu movie directed by Veera Shankar and produced by Nagendra Babu. This film again took the rank of a hit at the box-office.

Balu ABCDEFG starred Pawan Kalyan, Shriya and Neha Oberoi. Even though the movie was dubbed into Hindi, as Aaj Ka Goondaraj, it still failed to garner attention and added to Pawan's failure of Johnny.

Bangaram had the star-studded cast of Pawan Kalyan in the lead role alongside Meera Chopra, Raja, Reema Sen, Ashutosh Rana, Mukesh Rishi and Shakeela. Unfortunately, this too met a lukewarm response.

Annavaram, directed by Bhimaneni Srinivasa Rao, had a cast of Pawan Kalyan, Asin and Sandhya. Initially, it proved to be a big hit at the box-office but only lasted 50 days and was thus given an average ranking.

Pawan Kalyan had a cameo in Shankar Dada Zindabad, which is a Telugu remake of the Bollywood blockbuster Lage Raho Munnabhai; and had brother Chiranjeevi playing the lead.

Jalsa (2008) was an instant hit and was appreciated by the masses, taking Kalyan back to the top as the 'Power Star'.

He was also seen in Komaram Puli.A big draw of the film was music by Oscar winner A R Rahman.

His latest release Teen Maar, which was the Telugu remake of the Bollywood hit Love Aaj Kal, was a huge success at the box office.
