In a major gaffe, a Google search for actor-politician Pawan Kalyan began throwing up the name of one 'Kushal Babu'.
However, the actor's photos and Wikipedia page were still intact.
According to reports, the actor's fans were enraged at the incident.
“Pawan Kalyan is (an) Indian filmstar and president of (a) political outfit Janasena Party . Some miscreants played spoilsport such that the name `Kushal Babu' appears when we Google for “Pawan Kalyan“...kindly resolve and fix the issue before the outrage becomes chronic as his presence in web media need not be explained to you by me," ToI quoted a fan as writing.
Pawan Kalyan has 2.05 million followers on Twitter, and the 'Power Star' enjoys a lot of support for both, his films and politics.
Several fans also took to Twitter and Facebook to express their ire.
