Power Star Pawan Kalyan is said to be the only hero of tollywood to act in message oriented movies with social responsibility among the present generation heroes. His '(Komaram) Puli' and 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu' are the full-fledged message oriented movies. Even in his commercial movies, we see a sort message in them. However, as per the trade sources, doing a message oriented film nowadays is a suicidal attempt. Even then Pawan Kalyan acted in the above movies. Despite its utter flop talk, 'Puli' managed to collect Rs.30 crores share( including satellite rights). And now, 'CGR' has been proved as a decent hit at the box office. This movie is expected to collect between Rs.40- 50 crores at the end of its full run.
In this scenario, a discussion has been started among the movie buffs and the topic is 'what if any other hero acts in 'CGR'?' Interestingly and unanimously, all of them felt that 'CGR' would have been an utter flop movie and it could collect a share of just around Rs.20 crores. On the other hand, some of the observers felt Pawan Kalyan is a right mix of doing commercial movies as well as message oriented movies. "He not only can make his commercial ventures as blockbusters but also can make other heroes blockbusters as blockbusters, if he acts in those movies and 'Idiot', 'Pokiri' etc. are the subjects which best suit to him," opined by them.
