Pawan Kalyan’s grand comeback in They Call Him OG feels like a heartfelt tribute to his fans.

The release of They Call Him OG has turned into a cinematic celebration for Pawan Kalyan’s fans across India. More than just a gangster drama, Sujeeth’s film is being hailed as a heartfelt tribute to the superstar’s two-decade-long bond with his audience.
A Roaring Comeback
Theatres erupted on September 25, 2025, with the onset of the credits of They Call Him OG. It was an electric moment for all millions of fans who had so many political commitments and long silences in their lives-the awe-inspiring moment when all had to come down to popular acclaim; that is why Pawan Kalyan still remains the "Power Star."
From the very first frame, a love letter to his fans is played, blending stylish action, emotional depth, and that trademark dash that he has. Fans say it is not just a film; it is collectively letting go of a deep sigh, a "thank you" from their idol for so many years of unwavering support.
The Legacy of Pawanism
The consistency of Pawan Kalyan's turning point is his transformation from a rebel charm that Tholi Prema (1998), Thammu (1999), and Kushi (2001) really never gave odd opportunities to the traditional star he so convincingly played. His career kept on balancing off passion projects like Johnny (2003) with blockbusters like Gabbar Singh and Attarintiki Daredi, which are the building blocks of the cultural phenomena known as «Pawanism.»
Even while dedicating himself to politics and social work, several films like Vakeel Saab and Bheemla Nayak rejuvenated this state's image into one of a fiery still-living renaissance spirit. Yet, the yearning for his signature cinematic glory never faded away.
The Original Gangster Returns
That yearning found its answer in OG. As Ojas Gambheera, Pawan Kalyan storms the screen in a rain-drenched, fiery sequence—an image that instantly became iconic. The film’s interval block, his ramp walk title card, and the meticulously crafted action sequences all carried the unmistakable stamp of Pawanism.
Director Sujeeth, himself a longtime admirer, structured the movie like a grand fan festival. Every punch, every glance, and every whistle-worthy moment feels tailored to reignite the frenzy of his early 2000s era.
A Fan Movement on Social Media
The hashtag-fest swept social media with fans booking shows in each city, and the alternate culture celebrated the stardom with agitated vigor. For many, that film is more than mere entertainment-they regard it as an acting reunion with the man they have followed for so many years.
More Than a Film, a Gift
They Call Him OG is more than a box office success. It’s a cultural moment—a reminder that Pawan Kalyan’s bond with his fans transcends cinema. For audiences who never stopped believing, the film is not just “Original Gangster” but the “Original Gift” from their star.
