Though his directorial debut johnny was lauded for its stunt choreography, again by pawan, the movie was a failure, beginning a flop streak and a dull phase in his career, which took 7 years to end, with the release of Jalsa (2008). However, post-Jalsa, pawan was never able to score back to back hits, as every hit of him was followed by a colossal disaster.
Recently, a close aide of pawan revealed that he watched the Hindi movie 'Article 15' on Netflix and was mighty impressed with it. Now, he has expressed his desire to act in the Telugu remake of the same. However, an official confirmation is awaited in this regard.
