Pawan Kalyan Chooses Kangana Ranaut Over Kareena Kapoor And Priyanka Chopra, Actress Reacts
Pawan Kalyan, who is currently busy promoting his recently released film Hari Hara Veera Mallu, has chosen Kangana Ranaut as his potential co-star over actors like Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra — and this leaves Ranaut with nothing but gratitude for the veteran actor.
In a candid chat with Hauterfly, during a rapid-fire round, Pawan Kalyan was asked to pick between Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Kriti Sanon, and Kiara Advani, and he chose Kriti. But when the choice came between Kriti and Kangana Ranaut, he quickly said the latter. Then he was questioned if he would work with Kangana, Kareena Kapoor, or Priyanka Chopra. Pawan said it depends on the film but added, 'I still feel… looking at how she portrayed Indira Gandhi (in Emergency), I think I should go with the stronger person, Kangana Ranaut."
About Hari Hara Veera Mallu
Set in the Mughal era, the story of the epic drama follows Pawan Kalyan's Veera Mallu, an outlaw who challenges the empire. Bobby Deol plays Aurangzeb, whereas Nidhhi Agerwal essays the role of devadasi Panchami. Produced by AM Rathnam with music by MM Keeravaani, the film is nothing short of a grand spectacle.
In a recent media interaction in Amaravati, Pawan Kalyan said, 'We will plan HHVM's sequel depending on the box office collection of part one and my schedule. We also need God's blessings for the sequel to happen."
Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan will soon star in They Call Him OG and Ustaad Bhagat Singh.
Kangana Ranaut's Work Front
On the work front, Kangana Ranaut was last seen in her directorial venture Emergency, in which she played former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film is based on the 21-month period from 1975 to 1977 when the Emergency was imposed in India.
Up next, she is set to appear alongside R. Madhavan in a Tamil psychological thriller directed by AL Vijay. She also has Bharat Bhagya Vidhata among her upcoming projects.
