OG, starring Pawan Kalyan, has set new benchmarks at the box office, delivering a strong opening week performance. To celebrate the film’s success, the makers hosted a success meet in Hyderabad, attended by the cast and crew, where Pawan Kalyan revealed plans for both a prequel and a sequel.
Pawan Kalyan on OG’s success
Speaking at the event, Pawan Kalyan reflected on the journey of bringing OG to the screen. “It is easy to write a story, but it is difficult to bring it to life on screen. In fact I am myself not aware of the full OG story. I met Trivikram Kar Sujeeth after he mentioned his name and Sujeeth told me, 'You will be gangster in a Japanese attire, holding a sword and carrying a gun. I did not fully understand the story at that time but when I saw my son reading the notes with joy, I realised that there is a relevance to this story for this generation," he said.
He further added, “So I confirm that let us work on a sequel and prequel to OG. I know how frustrating it can be when a film fails but OG has given me the motivation to do films again. I want to continue the OG world in the time I get.”
About OG
