During a Janasena party meeting that was held a couple of months ago, actor-politician Pawan Kalyan had claimed that he charges Rs 2-3 crore per day and that he is ready to sacrifice his earnings and fight to resolve people’s issues. “I charge Rs 2, 3 crore per day in films. But I’m ready to leave such a lucrative career in movies and fight for the welfare of the people. I joined politics after I got inspired by our great leaders Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Boss, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Potti Sreeramulu,” Pawan revealed.
Now, at a film related event last night, Veteran character artiste Kota Srinivasa Rao took a sly dig at Pawan Kalyan’s remuneration claims. “These days, some actors are holding a mike on stage and are claiming that they earn Rs 2 crore, 8 crore per day. This is not a healthy trend. Did we ever see our legends NT Ramarao, Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Krishna and Sobhan Babu talk about their remuneration?,” Kota said.
Even though Kota Srinivasa Rao didn’t mention Pawan Kalyan’s name in his speech, loyal fans of Pawan are defending the OG actor’s claims. Fans argue that Pawan is donating all his earnings for the welfare of the people and that there is nothing wrong in his claims.
