Pawan Kalyan’s next release, ‘OG’, directed by Sujeeth, features a thrilling Aikido sequence. Kalyan Garu’s dedication to mastering the art promises an action-packed experience.
The anticipation for Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming release, OG, is at an all-time high. Directed by Sujeeth, this gangster action drama is poised to captivate audiences with its intense storyline and high-octane sequences. Pawan Kalyan, who plays the ruthless don Ojas Gambheera “OG”, will resume working on the film once the election results are out.
In a recent interview, director Sujeeth shared an intriguing detail about a key sequence in the film. “There is an Aikido (martial arts) sequence in the movie. I have designed it based on my knowledge and available resources. But Kalyan Garu wanted to give his best. He contacted Aikido masters from Pune and Mumbai and had multiple practice sessions,” revealed Sujeeth.
Kalyan’s dedication to the role didn’t stop there. Sujeeth added, “He also saw a few YouTube videos and discussed with me on how to go about it. With his inputs, we redesigned the action block and shot it in three days. Earlier the plan was to wrap up in half a day. If Kalyan Garu finds something interesting then there is no stopping him.”
OG revolves around Ojas Gambheera “OG”, a don who returns to Mumbai after a ten-year absence to finish off Omi Bhau, a crime boss. Written and directed by Sujeeth and produced by D. V. V. Danayya of DVV Entertainment, the film stars Pawan Kalyan, Emraan Hashmi (making his Telugu debut), and Priyanka Mohan in lead roles.
The film was officially announced in December 2022, and principal photography commenced in April 2023 in Mumbai. The musical score and soundtrack are composed by Thaman S, with cinematography handled by Ravi K. Chandran. OG is scheduled for a theatrical release on 27 September 2024.
