Pawan Kalyan may just have dashed all hopes of returning to acting. Speaking in Mangalagiri on Sunday, the Jana Sena chief suggested that he would be consistently active in politics for the next 25 years to herald socio-political change. Although he didn't use the word "consistently", the way he framed his words have given the indication that he is not in for acting again.

The actor-turned-politician told his party's activists and cadres that change is a long-haul. "We should be patient," Pawan said, adding that he is not worried about the May 23rd results. Most of his speech during an interaction with his party candidates made routine points.

Recently, there were unfounded reports that Pawan would be acting in a movie to be directed by Dolly, the 'Katamarayudu' director. Nagababu, his elder brother, recently threw the hint that no such project is on the anvil.
