Pawan Kalyan's Tholiprema Producer GVG Raju Shares An Interesting Fact: Powerstar Pawan Kalyan is one of the highest-paid actors in South India and enjoys a fan following that is equal to an ocean. The actor has also turned politician by floating a party named Janasena and is going to contest in the 202 elections in Andhra Pradesh.

Pawan Kalyan is a busy actor who has more than three projects on the sets at a time. He is chalking time between his schedules for political commitments and has been in the news again for an interesting throwback fact.

Tholiprema, which was released in 1998, written and directed by A Karunakaran, is a crazy hit. The youngsters of the Telugu-speaking states have gone crazy about Balu (PSPK) and Swapna (Keerthi Reddy) and the film's songs. The movie was released amid low expectations but is one of the best hits and films of Pawan Kalyan.

Recently, as Tholiprema too joined the bandwagon of the re-release trend in Tollywood, the film's producer GVG Raju of SSC Arts, shared an interesting and unknown fact about the power star Pawan Kalyan's remuneration.

He said, "Back then, Pawan Kalyan was not a star. He is a budding actor, and I had not given him any remuneration in advance. He asked me to give him monthly maintenance until the film was released. I paid him accordingly, and he bought a cell phone and some books with the money. Later on the second day of the film's release, I went to him and traditionally offered him remuneration."

Fans are thrilled after this piece of news became viral on Twitter.
Tholiprema stars Pawan Kalyan, Keerthi Reddy, Vasuki, Ali, Nagesh, Nagesh, Venu Madhav, Achyuth, Prasanna Kumar, Narra Venkateswara Rao, and PJ Sarma, among others in key roles.

Tholiprema was produced by GVG Raju under the SSC Arts banners. The movie has some foot-tapping and melodious songs by musician Deva. Tholiprema is one of the most successful audio albums of the decade. Chota K Naidu and Y Maheedhar cranked the camera, and Marthand K Venkatesh worked as the film's editor. The movie's story and screenplay are written by A Karunakaran himself. The film's dialogues are penned by Chintapalli Ramana.
