Suswagatham (transl. Hearty welcome) is a 1998 Indian Telugu-language romance film produced by R. B. Choudary under the Super Good Films banner, directed by Bhimaneni Srinivasa Rao. It stars Pawan Kalyan and Devayani (in her Telugu debut), with music composed by S. A. Rajkumar.[1] The film is a remake of the Tamil film Love Today (1997).[2] The film was a blockbuster at the box office.[3]
Kalyan was first credited with the title Power Star in this film.[4][5] Suswagatham sowed the seeds for Kalyan's rise to stardom. In the film, Kalyan played a young man who loses everything due to his blind love for a girl. His performance in the film was critically acclaimed.[6] Pawan Kalyan, Bhimaneni Srinivasa Rao, and R. B. Choudary later collaborated for Annavaram (2006).[7]
