As per some unconfirmed reports, Pawan Kalyan has not been able to tweet for the last few days and he initially ignored it, assuming it may be due to some technical issues. He later grew suspicious and reported the incident to the concerned people. The process to recover his account is underway.

The news has led people to speculate that Pawan Kalyan's Twitter account may be infected with the WannaCry ransomware, a virus that targets Microsoft Windows operating system to encrypt data and demands ransom payments in the cryptocurrency bitcoin. 

Another theory doing the rounds is that Pawan Kalyan, who has been making a lot of political statements, may have been targeted by his rivals in politics. The Power Star is yet to open up on the issue.
