About
Agnyaathavaasi
In
case,
you
did
not
know,
Agnyaathavaasi
was
directed
by
Trivikram
Srinivas
and
revolved
around
the
exploits
of
a
'prince
in
exile'.
The
film
ran
into
trouble
when
French
filmmaker
Jérôme
Salle
claimed
that
it
was
a
copy
of
his
popular
action-thriller
Largo
Winch.
To
make
matters
worse,
Agnyaathavaasi
failed
to
impress
the
target
audience
and
this
resulted
in
its
downfall.
The
film
ended
up
being
one
of
the
biggest
disasters
of
Pawan
Kalyan's
career.
Trivikram's
Reaction
Following
the
Agnyaathavaasi
debacle,
Pawan
Kalyan
fans
had
accused
Trivikram
Srinivas
of
'betraying'
their
hero.
Reacting
to
the
controversy,
the
filmmaker
had
said
that
he
was
deeply
affected
by
the
entire
episode.
His
Exact
Words
"I'd
be
lying
if
I
said
the
failure
didn't
affect
me.
It
did
to
a
great
extent.
I
was
disappointed
with
myself.
On
my
new
project,
I'm
working
with
more
care,
passion
and
discipline."
The
Road
Ahead
Coming
back
to
Pawan
Kalyan,
he
has
put
the
Agnyaathavaasi
debacle
behind
him
and
turned
his
attention
to
politics.
The
Jana
Sena
Chief
tried
his
luck
in
the
Andhra
Pradesh
assembly
election
but
failed
to
make
an
impact.
While
he
is
yet
to
sign
his
next
movie,
he
recently
did
a
voice-over
for
the
Telugu
teaser
of
Sye
Raa,
featuring
Chiranjeevi
and
Nayanthara
in
the
lead.
