Pawan Kalyan Net Worth $15 Million
Pawan is the son of Konidela Venkat Rao and his wife, Anjana Devi; he has an older brother, Chiranjeevi Nagendra Babu, who is an actor as well.
Before he became a celebrated actor, Pawan was quite a successful martial artist, and has acquired his black belt in karate.
He made his acting debut in the action film “Akkada Abbai Ikkada Ammayi” in 1996, and the following year appeared in the remake of “Gokulathil Seethai”, entitled “Gokulamlo Seetha”. The same year, he also featured in the romantic drama film “Suswagatham”, a remake of the Tamil film “Love Today”.
His presence in the Telugu cinema increased steadily, and his roles became more significant; in 1998 he starred in the romantic drama “Tholi Prema”, which became quite successful and increased Pawan’s net worth to a large degree. Before the end of the ‘90s, Pawan also appeared in the romantic action-drama “Thammudu”, and started the new millennium with a supporting role in the romance “Badri”, directed by Puri Jagannadh. Next, he featured in the Telugu hit film “Khushi” in 2001, while in 2003 he tried himself as a director, but also as a screenwriter, as he worked on the film “Johnny”, which starred Renu Desai, Raghuvaran, and Mallikharjunarao. Now an Indian film star, Pawan had several starring roles until 2010, such as in the films “Gudumba Shankar” (2004), then “Shankar Dada MBBS” (2004) – in which he appeared next to his brother Chiranjeevi – “Balu” (2005), and “Jalsa” (2008), which only increased his wealth to a large degree.
Pawan then took a step forward by gaining lead roles in high-budget Telugu films such as “Komaram Puli” (2010), then “Panjaa” in 2011, while in 2012 he starred as Gabbar Singh / Venkatrathnam Naidu in the action comedy film “Gabbar Singh”, for which he received Filmfare Award in the category Best Actor, and in 2013 got his most-prominent role so far, as Goutham Nanda in the action drama “Atharintiki Daaredi”, for which he earned a Filmfare Award- nomination in the category Best Actor. In 2016 he starred in the sequel of “Gabbar Singh”, entitled “Sardaar Gabbar Singh”, and most recently appeared in the action film “Katamarayudu” (2017).
Aside from acting, Pawan has also launched a political career; back in 2014, he started the Jana Sena Party, whose motto is to Fight for The Rights of every Common Person. The party will participate in the Indian elections in 2019.
He has also served as brand ambassador for Pepsi, then Hand Loom weavers, and JEEVAN DAAN, which have also contributed to his wealth.
Regarding his personal life, Pawan has been married to Anna Lezhneva since 2013; the couple has one child together. He has two marriages behind him; his first wife was Nandini, to whom he was married from 1997 to 2008. Then in 2009 he married his frequent co-star Renu Desai and had two children with her before their divorce in 2012.
