The Man who made Pawan & Mahesh 'Actors' !!

Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu are the two biggest stars of Tollywood right now, but they too have undergone a rigorous training sessions before making foray into films. And the man who groomed them is Lanka Satyanand.

Recalling his past and how Pawan became his student, Satyanand said,"Wayback in 1982, Chiranjeevi liked the way I train new actors for theatre and he appreciated me. After 10 years, he called me and asked me to train Pawan. Till that time, I had no idea that Chiru has a brother, other than Nagababu."

"One day, Chiru placed a video camera in front of Pawan and asked him to deliver a single line 'Ent Ra! Nagurinchi Emi Anukuntunnav?'. Everybody including Charan who was a kid then, encouraged him, but he wasn't able to do that! Then Chiru asked his sister Madhavi to utter the same dialogue and she did it! Then Chiru told to Pawan,'When a girl is able to do it, why can't you? Why do you want to enter this field? Choose some other business'. Then Pawan replied if proper training was given to him, he can prove his mettle. That's how I was chosen. After the training, all the members of Chiru family were shocked to see a drastic change in Pawan. I feel very happy to see him doing so well now," he added.

Satyanand has produced 61 heroes including Prabhas, Brahmi's Son and Puri's brother till date. He has opened a film school in Vizag and traines 4-5 people for a batch with a common syllabus for one and all.
