After Megastar Chiranjeevi congratulated Kalatapasvi K. Vishwanath on being named for film world’s top most award in India, his younger brother Power Star Pawan Kalyan visited the eminent director at his house to congratulate him, today.

Pawan’s director-friend Trivikram Srinivas accompanied him. Both the actor and director congratulated K. Vishwanath on being conferred with Dada Saheb Phalke Award for his outstanding directorial contribution to Indian cinema.

Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram Srinivas felicitated the ace director with a shawl.

Vishwanath directed and associated with around 40 movies in Telugu and nine in Hindi - Sargam (1979), Kaamchor (1982), Shubh Kaamna (1983), Jaag Utha Insan (1984), Sur Sangam (1985), Sanjog (1985), Eeshwar (1989), Sangeet (1992) and Dhanwaan (1993).  Viswanath’s National award winning drama “Swati Mutyam” (The White Pearl) was India’s official entry to the Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Film category in 1987.

Speaking to media, Pawan Kalyan said he liked Vishwanath’s movies very much. Maybe due to the generation gap, Pawan never had an opportunity to act in Vishwanath’s direction.

“The award made all the Telugus proud and it is an honor to the south Indians,” Pawan Kalyan said.
