On this India Today special, Andhra Deputy Chief Minister and Janasena party chief Pawan Kalyan joins Akshita Nandgopal and Rajdeep. The actor-politician discusses his new film, ‘Harihara Veeramallu’, where the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb is the antagonist, and delves into his political ideology. Kalyan addresses the ‘Hindutva hero’ label, the national language debate, and the perceived North-South cultural divide. Questioned on his ideological journey from admiring Che Guevara to aligning with the BJP, he stated, “A man who is seeking social justice or who stands for social justice does not mean that he has to… be an atheist. He could be a believer.” Kalyan advocates for teaching a balanced view of Mughal history, argues against the forced imposition of Hindi while acknowledging its necessity, and asserts the North-South divide is a political creation. He also touches upon his Janasena party’s future. Kalyan details his ideological background, shaped by socialist thought, family devotion to Lord Rama, and admiration for figures like Che Guevara. He explains his support for the nation’s leadership, stating, ‘I firmly believe this nation is a very strong leader… I think that quality I have found in Narendra Modiji.’ He speaks about the challenges of balancing his film career with his political responsibilities, calling it a ‘quite tough job.’ Kalyan states that his film work is his only financial source, which he uses to fund his political activities, asserting that politics is a form of national service for him. #indiatoday #indiatodayspecial #pawankalyan #andhrapradesh #deputycm #janasena #hariharaveeramallu #aurangzeb #mughals #hindutva #hindi #languagedebate #northvssouth #cheguevara #narendramodi #powerstar #enforcementdirectorate #bettingapps #bollywood #tollywood #celebritynews #ozzyosbourne #blacksabbath #ripozzy #news
