Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi (transl. “There’s the girl, here’s the boy”) is a 1996 Telugu film directed by E. V. V. Satyanarayana and produced by Allu Aravind under Geetha Arts. It is the film that introduced Pawan Kalyan, Chiranjeevi’s younger brother, credited here simply as Kalyan, alongside another newcomer, Supriya, granddaughter of Akkineni Nageswara Rao. An official remake of the 1988 Hindi hit Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, with music by Koti, it was released on 11 October 1996, and Kalyan’s performance and martial-arts skills drew particular attention.

What the story is about

Harichandra Prasad and Vishnu Murthy are two wealthy, powerful rivals in the same village. Harichandra Prasad’s daughter, Supriya, and Vishnu Murthy’s son, Kalyan, end up at the same residential college, where they spar constantly and make bets with each other, including one that sees Kalyan and his gang sneak into the girls’ hostel. Amid the quarrels they fall in love. When they go home for the holidays, their families pull them apart at the railway station, and after the vacation Supriya does not come back: her marriage has been fixed. What Kalyan does next, and how two feuding families respond, is the rest of the film.

Making of the film

Ravi Raja Pinisetty was originally to direct, but stepped down because he felt Allu Aravind would not invest enough in the project, telling Kalyan there was no misunderstanding between them. Before release, the film was promoted with an unusual campaign: posters of Kalyan first appeared with the question “Who is this guy?”, followed closer to release by posters announcing “This is our Kalyan”. His connection to Chiranjeevi added to the curiosity.

Reviews

Not every critic was won over. Andhra Today wrote that “Kalyan is good only in dance and action scenes”, that Supriya “makes little impact”, and called it “a disappointing film from all departments”. We have not found box-office figures from a named outlet.
