Dasari Narayana Rao has suggested in an interview that Pawan Kalyan has it in him to go the whole hog in politics. When asked if he would advice Pawan, whose mentality he knows, against continuing in politics, Dasari retorted saying, "Pawan dhairyam Pawan ki undhi. He has the will power and the power of the people with him. Why should I advise him against being in politics?" the filmmaker-turned-politician said to a popular 24/7 news channel.

Moments ago he had said, "I would advise those with a sensitive mindset to not enter politics. They may have to face allegations for no mistake of theirs. Just as it happened in my case, they will have to be at the receiving end of mudslinging."

Dasari and Pawan have so far belonged to rival political camps. Dasari sounded positive about Pawan's political future, though.
