“OG Was Also Supposed To Be A Remake”

Karthikeya is coming up with a movie titled Bhaje Vaayu Vegam. During one of the promotional interviews for the film, he was joined by director Sujeeth of Saaho fame, where Sujeeth also discussed his upcoming film OG starring Pawan Kalyan.

Sujeeth revealed, “Many people know that ‘OG’ stands for ‘Original Gangster.’ Hence, there was speculation that the title of the movie starring Pawan Kalyan was chosen with this meaning in mind. However, it turns out this is not the case.”

“OG actually stands for ‘Ojas Gambhir.’ In the movie, Ojas is the name of the master, and Gambhir is the hero’s name. Combining these gives us OG. That’s why we chose this title. Pawan always tries to include a Japanese flavor in his films, even if the story isn’t related. That’s why I have been set on making a film with him in the Japanese style. That’s what OG is.”

Director Sujeeth shared more about how he got the chance to direct Pawan Kalyan.

“Initially, I was called for a remake, but I wasn’t interested. The thrill of an original movie is different from a remake. So, I waited for a chance. After waiting for so long, fate was on my side. One day, Kalyan asked if I had any new stories. I told him one line, and he immediately agreed. That’s how OG came to be.”

Sujeeth also mentioned his love for Japanese films, noting that Pawan Kalyan shares this passion, which is why he named his son Akira. Sujeeth announced that the trailer for OG is already ready.

Additionally, Sujeeth shared that his favorite Pawan Kalyan film is Johnny. He praised the film for being technically well-made and ahead of its time.
