Pawan Kalyan and Emraan Hashmi gear up for an intense face-off in Sujeeth’s They Call Him OG, a rare A-rated Telugu gangster action thriller.
Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s pan-India action thriller They Call Him OG, directed by Sujeeth, is all set to hit the big screens soon. With a stellar cast, explosive action, and a rare A-rating from the censor board, the film is already being touted as one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Here are five reasons why you shouldn’t miss it.
1. Pawan Kalyan in a Fierce New Avatar
In OG, Pawan Kalyan plays Ojas Gambheera, a dreaded gangster making a comeback to Mumbai’s underworld after a decade. From katana sword fights to martial arts combat, the Power Star promises a commanding performance filled with intensity and mass appeal. After the lukewarm response to Hari Hara Veera Mallu, fans are looking forward to this as his big box-office comeback.
2. Emraan Hashmi’s Telugu Debut as Omi Bhau
Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi makes his Telugu debut in OG as the antagonist Omi Bhau, a ruthless gangster with a menacing look and brutal aura. Known for his impactful villainous roles in Tiger 3 and other films, Hashmi’s face-off with Pawan Kalyan is one of the movie’s biggest highlights.
3. Sujeeth’s High-Octane Direction
Directed by Sujeeth of Saaho fame, OG promises stylized yet gritty action. The trailer teases choreographed martial arts, gunfights, sword duels, and grenade explosions — making it a complete action feast. The confrontation sequences between Kalyan and Hashmi are expected to be the film’s standout moments.
4. A Powerful Supporting Cast
Alongside the lead stars, OG boasts a strong ensemble cast. Priyanka Mohan plays the female lead, Kanmani, while Sriya Reddy brings intensity to her pivotal role. The film also features Arjun Das, Prakash Raj, Rao Ramesh, and other noted actors. With music by Thaman S, the film combines star power with a gripping soundtrack.
5. A Rare A-Rated Mass Gangster Drama
For the first time since 2008, an A-grade certificate has been issued for a Pawan Kalyan starrer by the CBFC. Filled with raw, gritty, and graphic action sequences, OG promises to maintain a dark and realistic tone, much unlike the mainstream Telugu cinéma. Hence, there will be many blood-filled sword fights, tommy gun shootouts, and uncompromising violence to entertain mature audiences.
Final Word
With the mass appeal of Pawan Kalyan, the making of Emraan Hashmi's debut in killing villainry, the direction of Sujeeth, and the intense action, They Call Him OG looks like an experience for a blockbuster.
