It is reportedly a satire on his political journey. A few days back, the trailer of 'Power Star' was leaked online hours before the actual time and RGV tweeted about it. The film stars a lookalike of actor-politician Pawan Kalyan. 

'Power Star' is a parody take on Pawan Kalyan's political stint and reportedly his fans even attacked RGV's office for making such a film on their favourite celebrity. 

Ahead of the 'Power Star' release, RGV tweeted that fans can pay Rs 150 for watching it before it actually hits YouTube and those who pay Rs 250 can watch the entire film before its release date of July 25, 2020.
