Pawan Kalyan’s Double Impact: ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ and ‘OG’ Set for Summer Clash!

Once limited to Tollywood, Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s name is now resonating in the political arena as well. As the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan is actively making his mark in governance. Amidst the electoral context in AP, Pawan Kalyan, who had taken a break from films, has recently resumed his pending projects. This includes recommencing the shoots for Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG. Pawan is set to return to regular shooting schedules soon. However, there’s a buzz online about both films potentially competing against each other in the summer box office.

Pawan vs. Pawan

The makers have already announced that ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ starring Pawan Kalyan is set to release on March 28, 2025. Yet, there are now plans to also release ‘OG’ in the same summer season, possibly in April or May. Fans are shocked by this unusual situation. Until recently, fans lamenting the lack of Pawan Kalyan films are now puzzled by this news. Online comments echo the sentiment, likening the situation to Pawan’s line from Gabbar Singh, “I’m my own competition.” Fans are concerned that releasing the second film within a month of the first could impact collections.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Team’s Dissatisfaction

There is apparent discontent within the Hari Hara Veera Mallu team regarding the decision to release OG during the summer. They insist that there should be at least a five-month gap between the two films. The industry is abuzz with talk of urging Pawan Kalyan to intervene. Everyone is keen to see which side Pawan will take as the situation seems to be setting up a Pawan vs. Pawan scenario. Analysts suggest that it appears OG might have to eventually defer, given the circumstances.

“OG… A Sure Blockbuster”

The film ‘OG’, a gangster action drama featuring Pawan Kalyan, is much anticipated. Pawan’s character named Ojas Gambhir led to the title ‘OG’. Music director Thaman recently hyped up the anticipation on an online platform. “Everyone is asking about OG updates. Updates will come soon; work related to it is ongoing. But I can assure you, it will be an industry hit. Director Sujeeth has done a fantastic job, and cinematographer Ravichandran has provided stunning visuals. I must give my best to OG. This is going to be the biggest film from the DVV banner. Pin this tweet. We’ll meet soon with updates,” he tweeted, stirring more excitement among the fans. Thaman’s tweet became a trending topic online.

Soon on the Sets, ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’

Following the blockbuster success of Gabbar Singh, the upcoming film ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh‘ in the combo of Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar is generating high expectations. Director Harish Shankar, who had been silent for a while, is now back as the projects Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG resume. Fans are eagerly waiting for ‘Ustaad’ to go on floors, especially excited for Pawan Kalyan’s role as a police officer in the film. Industry insiders suggest that updates related to this movie will also be available soon, following the release of two glimpses that have already received a warm response from fans.
