‘Sai Kumar Garu Changed My Career,’ Says Kiran Abbavaram at Shambhala Event

The upcoming Telugu film Shambhala, starring Aadi Sai Kumar in the lead role, is gearing up for its theatrical release on the 25th of this month. As part of the promotions, the makers organized a grand pre-release event, which saw the presence of actor Kiran Abbavaram as the chief guest. His encouraging speech became one of the major highlights of the evening and gave a strong boost to the confidence of the Shambhala team.

Speaking at the event, Kiran Abbavaram shared his happiness about the positive response the film has been receiving even before its release. He expressed his sincere hope that the movie would turn out to be a big success for Aadi Sai Kumar, who has been working consistently in the industry for many years.

Recalling his close bond with Aadi’s father, senior actor Sai Kumar, Kiran said, “Everyone is speaking very positively about Shambhala. I truly hope this film becomes a big hit for Aadi anna. In this industry, the senior actor I know closely is Sai Kumar garu. He acted in my film SR Kalyanamandapam and played a crucial role in my career growth.”

He went on to explain how important Sai Kumar’s support was during his early days. Kiran added, “I don’t know how that film would have turned out if he hadn’t been a part of it. Since then, he has continuously encouraged me for every film of mine.”

Kiran Abbavaram also shared a valuable lesson he learned from Sai Kumar, saying, “He always told me that discipline matters more than success or failure, and those words have been extremely helpful in my career.” He praised Sai Kumar for being genuinely supportive of everyone in the film industry, which is why people always respond positively when he invites them to events.

Talking about Aadi Sai Kumar’s journey, Kiran recalled the massive popularity of Prema Kavali. He said, “During the time Aadi anna did Prema Kavali, I was pursuing my B.Tech. There wasn’t a single student who didn’t dance to the songs from that film.”

He concluded by appreciating Aadi’s persistence and dedication, stating, “For nearly 14 years, Aadi anna has been consistently putting in efforts and continuing his journey in cinema. Scoring hits is one thing, but sustaining oneself in the industry is another. I sincerely wish Shambhala great success.”
