Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan announced on Wednesday that he will take a three-month hiatus from film shoots to focus on his political responsibilities. Speaking at a public meeting in his Assembly constituency, Pithapuram, Kalyan emphasized his commitment to his constituents, promising to occasionally dedicate one or two days to film shoots when possible.

When fans shouted the name of his upcoming film, "OG," Kalyan responded humorously, asking if they thought he had come to act in movies. "I have to ensure that you don't criticize me for not even filling potholes on the roads. That's why I need to fulfill my promises first. Otherwise, you will ask me why I am doing 'OG' instead of serving you," Kalyan stated, drawing loud cheers from the crowd, according to a report on IANS.

The Jana Sena leader explained that he had apologized to producers for his temporary unavailability, assuring them that he would serve the people of Andhra Pradesh and occasionally do film shoots without disrupting his political work. "OG will be a good movie," Kalyan teased, raising fans' curiosity.

"OG," starring Pawan Kalyan and Priyanka Mohan, will also feature Emraan Hashmi in his Telugu debut. The action thriller is written and directed by Sujeeth.

This visit to Pithapuram marks Kalyan's first since his election victory and assuming office as Deputy Chief Minister. On Monday, he announced his decision to forgo his salary and special allowances, including new office furniture, due to the state's precarious financial condition.

Stating that he initially wanted to take Home Ministry, Pawan Kalyan said that he took Panchayat Raj Department considering Mahatma Gandhi's dream of Gram Swaraj. 

Pawan Kalyan said that he does not require bribes and has instructed officials to ensure that the funds are not misused.
