Sujeeth-Pawan Kalyan’s OG
OG is the latest venture by director Sujeeth of Prabhas starrer Saaho fame. Power Star Pawan Kalyan is leading the project from the front as the hero. OG has great ground hype, as this marks his comeback to the silver screen after a gap. There is a buzz that the Power Star would play the role of a fight master in this film.
Sujeeth recently revealed that Pawan Kalyan would be playing Ojas, and another moniker would be "Gambheera," so the full name will be 'Ojas Gambheera.' He explained that the title of OG was taken from the starting letters of Ojas and also referred to "Original Gangster," a term that resonates greatly with this theme of the movie.
Music director is a specialist when it comes to massy commercial action dramas. Thaman is composing the music and OST of OG. Earlier, Thaman has composed music for Pawan’s Bheemla Nayak.
