In a heartfelt revelation that has touched millions of fans, actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan has shared the emotional reasons behind his powerful return to the silver screen with the blockbuster hit 'They Call Him OG'. The Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, who had been largely focused on his political career, made a spectacular cinematic comeback that has set the box office on fire.
The Emotional Confession to Fans
During a recent public event in Ambedkar Konaseema district on Wednesday, the atmosphere electrified as supporters chanted "OG" repeatedly. According to a Hindustan Times report, Pawan Kalyan paused his speech to address the overwhelming response from his devoted followers.
"I hear you screaming 'OG' there," the actor-politician began emotionally. "I could've made a film like 'OG' after 2004. But my concentration wasn't on films, it was on society." This candid admission marked a significant moment of connection between the star and his audience.
He acknowledged that his increased focus on politics over recent years had left many of his fans feeling disappointed and disheartened. "I gave 'OG' my all because you have been feeling hurt. I know my focus on politics has hurt you," he shared with remarkable honesty.
Dedicated Return to Cinema
The Jana Sena Party leader revealed that his decision to return to filmmaking was driven by a desire to restore pride among his fan base. "My fans haven't been able to hold their head high lately. So, I decided to focus on cinema for once," he explained during the gathering.
Despite his political commitments, Pawan Kalyan clarified that films remain his primary source of livelihood while serving society continues to be his main priority. This balancing act between his dual careers has become a defining characteristic of his public life.
Blockbuster Success and Future Projects
The September release of 'They Call Him OG' proved to be a massive commercial success, shattering box office records with an impressive global gross collection of Rs 293.65 crore. Directed by Sujeeth, the film features Pawan Kalyan in the powerful role of Ojas Gambheera, a gangster who re-enters the criminal underworld to protect his loved ones.
Looking ahead, the multi-talented star has already completed work on his next cinematic venture. 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', directed by Harish Shankar, will feature Pawan Kalyan as a police officer. The project is currently in its final production stages and is scheduled for release next year, promising another exciting performance from the versatile actor.
The overwhelming success of 'They Call Him OG' and the emotional connection Pawan Kalyan has reestablished with his audience demonstrates the powerful bond between Indian cinema stars and their followers, proving that some relationships transcend the boundaries of art and politics.
