Three days from now, it will be clear if Pawan will float his own party or join another party or simply fizzle out.
Meanwhile, the political parties are preparing themselves for a direct onslaught if he ventures into politics.
Of late, political leaders spend most of their time in mud slinging and using the choicest of words to blame each other. And they are well-trained to criticize each other at every given opportunity. But the film industry is a totally different ball game.
Film stars are used to being praised and having star-struck fans. So, many of them fail badly as they cannot handle the criticism once they get into politics.
A peep into history shows that film stars usually cannot survive in politics for long. At least that has been the case with the Telugu film industry.
Coming to Pawan, he was attacked by other parties and his own party members when he played an active role in Praja Rajyam.
It is a well-known fact that YSRCP leader Roja who was with the TDP back then, had launched a tirade against him. Accusations and counter accusations among film stars during that time saw a decline in the image that film stars had among people.
Till now Pawan has always been surrounded by controversies. But he has always maintained stoic silence about them. But now, he will be forced to answer people and other political leaders.
As per political gossip, specially identified leaders from various political parties have been assigned the task of digging up his past so that they have their ammunition ready in case Pawan actually forays into politics.
It is being said that those who are supporting Pawan are also preparing him to face the inevitable.
But it has to be remembered that for now all this is mere gossip. It is natural for people to ‘talk’ about politics. For some clarity, Pawan has to make his announcement.
If he simply shares his thoughts on politics, all efforts being made by political parties will have to be junked mercilessly.
