Pawan Kalyan, the actor-turned-politician and Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, recently made headlines for his visit to Tirumala as part of his Prayaschitta Deeksha, where he chose to walk to the temple. While he’s been vocal about the alleged adulteration of the Tirupathi prasadam, his recent interview with a Tamil media house has been grabbing attention for a completely different reason.
In this candid conversation, Pawan Kalyan surprised many by revealing his favorite comedian and director from the Tamil film industry. When asked about his preferences, Pawan shared his admiration for actor Yogi Babu, particularly recalling a movie where Yogi Babu plays the role of a village head. Pawan praised Yogi’s performance, stating that he enjoys his work.
I like Yogibabu's performance. I have seen the film #Leo directed by @Dir_Lokesh.

When it came to directors, Pawan Kalyan expressed his fondness for the legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam, whose films have left a lasting impression on him. He also mentioned his appreciation for the filmmaking style of Lokesh Kanagaraj, even going so far as to recall his recent movie LEO—a surprising revelation, as Pawan Kalyan admitted he usually struggles to remember movie titles.
What added to the charm of this interview was Pawan Kalyan’s fluency in Tamil, which took the interviewer by surprise. Originally prepared to conduct the conversation in English, the interviewer was delighted to see the actor-politician engaging in Tamil effortlessly, showcasing yet another facet of Pawan Kalyan’s versatility and connection to regional cinema.
This interview has not only highlighted Pawan Kalyan’s love for Tamil cinema but also his ability to connect with diverse audiences.
