Pawan Kalyan: Just Like Prabhas in ‘Salaar’, Pawan Kalyan in ‘OG’ Too?

In Tollywood, Power Star Pawan Kalyan is known for his significant fan following. The fans celebrate whenever a new movie of his is announced. However, it’s noteworthy that until now, Pawan Kalyan has not been part of any pan-India film. In this context, Pawan’s latest movie ‘OG’ is getting ready for a national release. Recently, there’s been buzz on the social media about a connection between Prabhas’ recent film ‘Salaar’ and Pawan’s ‘OG’. Similarly, there’s a rumor swirling around about Pawan’s next movie ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’. Let’s dive into what these are about.

The Comparison Between ‘OG’ and ‘Salaar’!

Directed by ‘KGF’ fame Prashanth Neel, ‘Salaar’ features Prabhas in a role that has limited screen time within the nearly three-hour-long film, appearing for about an hour only. The rest of the run-time focuses on elevations for Prabhas, other characters, and the movie’s storyline. Similarly, it seems that Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming movie ‘OG’, directed by Sujeeth, might also see Pawan with limited screen presence. Pawan participated in the regular shooting at the beginning and then became busy with AP politics, distancing himself from the shooting. It’s rumored that about two weeks of shooting might be enough to complete Pawan’s part, leading to speculation that Pawan’s role in ‘OG’ might be limited.

Elevations on a High Range!

Despite Pawan Kalyan’s role in ‘OG’ being limited, the movie team promises that the elevations will be on a grand scale. The glimpses of ‘OG’ already released show Pawan in a powerful light. Fans were particularly thrilled with Pawan’s gangster look and the ‘Hungry Cheetah’ song from the movie, which has become a favorite ringtone and caller tune among fans. ‘OG’ stars Priyanka Mohan as the heroine and Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi as the villain, with Thaman providing the music. The film is being produced by DVV Entertainments.

Dwindling Expectations!

Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’, directed by Krish, also carries high expectations among fans. However, the absence of solid updates, despite the shooting starting four years ago, has dampened the spirits of fans. The continuous postponements of the shooting and sporadic updates have lessened the interest among fans. Even though the movie team announced a promo release for Shivaratri, no update has been given till today, making ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’, once considered a prestigious project for Pawan, lose its buzz compared to ‘OG’.

Pawan Kalyan as a Rival to Chiru!

With the repeated delays in ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’s shooting, fans wonder if the movie will ever be released. Responding to these concerns, the makers recently assured that the movie hasn’t been halted, with post-production and VFX works ongoing. There’s a plan to complete the shooting by December, post-AP elections, aiming for a Sankranthi release next year. If this happens, ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ will clash with Chiranjeevi’s ‘Vishwambhara’ at the Sankranthi box office, setting up an intriguing competition between the brothers.
