Hyderabad will soon see a storm on the sets high on voltage, as Powerstar Pawan Kalyan will resume the shoot of his most awaited film #OG tomorrow. The shoot will happen in Hyderabad, and as per close sources to the production house, Pawan Kalyan’s schedule in the film will be completed by June 10th.
This development is a big shot in the arm for the fans, who have been looking forward to the return of the star to outright acting after juggling a frenetic political schedule. Sujeeth, famous for his neat narration and action credentials (Saaho fame), directs OG, which has been in the news since its announcement and has continued to pick up steam with each development.
OG: A Neo-Noir Action Drama With Promises of Fireworks
The movie named ‘OG’, an acronym for ‘Original Gangster’, is a go-slow action drama and is Pawan Kalyan’s return to a gritty, stylish act in a big way. The earlier teaser video caused waves in the Telugu film world with its minimalist visuals, pounding background score, and commanding screen presence of the actor.
The film is speculated to be based on a dreaded gangster’s return to his origins after several years, leading to a raging storm in the underworld. Thanks to Sujeeth’s penetrative writing, Pawan’s larger-than-life personality, and Thaman S’s tunes, OG is in the making as one of the biggest films to hit screens this year in 2025. DVV Danayya is producing the movie, having last produced the global blockbuster RRR.
Shooting for OG has been happening on several schedules, with other artists such as Emraan Hashmi (for his Tollywood debut) and Priyanka Arul Mohan being actively engaged. But because of Pawan Kalyan’s political commitments, particularly the upcoming Andhra Pradesh elections and Jana Sena Party activities, his segments were delayed. Now that there is clarity in his schedule, the makers are tightening the shoot calendar tight.
Pawan Kalyan’s Film Commitments Amid Politics
Even with his heavy political engagement, Pawan Kalyan has stuck to delivering his film commitments, a virtue that continues to keep his fan base intact and eager. OG is not the only movie he’s balancing—his slate is full of blockbuster prospect films, most of which are in some stage of production.
Here’s a glimpse of his future and past projects that characterize this stage of his two-career resurgence:

With elections due anytime soon in Andhra Pradesh, his campaign work may once again overlap with shooting schedules. But sources indicate that the actor has smartly planned his calendar so that he completes his film assignments on time before returning to full-time campaigning for politics.
Fans Set to Make Pawan Mania All Over Again
With Pawan Kalyan on board the shoot of OG from tomorrow in Hyderabad, expectations are reaching new heights. His fans, popularly referred to as Powerstar fans, have already started trending #OGShootBegins, #PowerStormIsBack, and #PawanKalyanOG on social media.
Trade circles for film are looking to OG to be a box-office behemoth, considering the mix of sleek action, the star cast, and the comeback of an old-school gangster avatar for Pawan Kalyan. His finish by June 10 indicates that the movie might now shift into post-production at a quick pace, with teaser/trailer releases predicted around Independence Day or Dussehra.
