Pawan
Kalyan,
who
has
donned
the
hat
of
a
writer
after
a
long
time,
for
Sardaar
Gabbar
Singh,
says
he
finds
the
process
of
writing
exciting
and
he
misses
it
more
than
acting.
"I
have
always
been
fascinated
by
writers;
and
find
their
ability
to
create
emotions
on
a
white
paper
an
amazing
feat.
I
never
had
that
ability
and
though
I've
tried,
I
fell
short
once.
I
find
the
whole
process
of
visualising,
writing
and
telling
a
story
really
exciting," Kalyan,
who
had
earlier
written
and
directed
2003
Johnny,
told
Pawan
Kalyan,
talking
to
Haricharan.
He
never
aspired
to
be
an
actor,
hence
he
didn't
miss
acting.
"I
wanted
to
be
a
technician;
a
director
to
be
precise.
But
my
brother
(Chiranjeevi)
insisted
that
I
act
because
it
runs
in
the
family.
I
know
he
only
meant
to
guide
me
in
the
right
direction
and
never
forced
me
to
be
an
actor,
but
I
took
his
advice
sincerely,"
said
the
44-year
old
actor.
Kalyan,
unabashedly,
declares
that
he
considers
acting
very
taxing.
"I
don't
enjoy
getting
ready
for
shoot,
applying
make-up
and
dancing
to
some
tunes
in
exotic
locations.
Sometimes
the
expectations
and
pressure
is
so
much,
I
find
it
so
demanding,
because
I
know
my
limitations
as
an
actor,"
he
said,
adding
that
he
finds
solace
in
writing.
Is
that
why
he
was
more
active,
calling
the
shots,
on
the
sets
of
Sardaar
Gabbar
Singh?
"I
was
more
involved
on
a
creative
level.
When
I
wrote
the
story,
I
visualised
the
town
Rattanpur
as
an
integral
part
of
the
film;
almost
like
a
character.
So
in
order
to
make
everybody
work
in
tandem
with
my
vision,
I
had
to
be
more
active,
make
suggestions
wherever
required,
and
trust
me
it
took
a
toll
on
me,"
he
said.
In
the
film,
Kalyan
returns
as
the
maverick,
witty
police
officer
Gabbar
Singh,
and
he
says
it's
a
character
very
close
to
his
heart.
It
was
both
easy
and
challenging
to
portray
the
character,
recalled
Kalyan.
"Since
I
had
written
the
character
this
time
and
I
know
my
limitations
as
an
actor,
I
knew
where
I
could
stretch
myself
in
terms
of
performance,
and
so
it
all
looked
easy.
However,
it
wasn't
easy
when
it
came
to
execution,
and
that's
where
the
challenging
part
kicked
in,"
he
said.
Directed
by
K.S.
Ravindra
aka
Bobby,
the
film
also
stars
Sharad
Kelkar,
Kabir
Duhan
Singh
and
Kajal
Aggarwal.
Kalyan
didn't
have
any
qualms
working
with
Bobby,
whose
second
film
is
Sardaar
Gabbar
Singh.
"I
respect
and
look
up
to
people
who
are
committed
and
have
the
tenacity
to
pursue.
And
in
whoever
I
find
these
qualities,
I
end
up
working
with
them.
In
the
case
of
Bobby,
I
hadn't
watched
his
first
film
but
I
had
heard
about
him
and
I
wanted
to
meet
him,"
he
said.
It
took
Kalyan
just
two
minutes
to
hand
over
the
reins
of
the
project
to
Bobby.
"Sometimes
when
I
look
at
a
person,
it
just
takes
a
minute
to
decide
that
I
won't
work
with
him.
When
I
met
Bobby,
I
knew
he
was
the
guy.
It
was
sheer
instinct,
I
guess,
but
it
had
worked
most
of
the
time
in
my
career,"
he
added.
He
believes
he
has
no
right
to
judge
anyone.
"When
someone
like
me
with
no
prior
acting
training
can
succeed,
how
can
I
judge
someone
by
his
previous
work?
When
a
film
fails,
it's
not
just
the
director
who
should
be
blamed,
because
sometimes
the
circumstances
which
were
supposed
to
aid
him
may
not
have
fallen
in
place,"
he
signed
off.
