As Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s highly anticipated gangster epic, They Call Him OG (OG), storms into theatres and shatters advance booking records worldwide, social media is in a state of absolute frenzy. The film’s monumental opening, poised to cross the ₹100 crore mark on Day 1, has amplified every piece of speculation surrounding it. At the heart of the wildest rumours is the alleged film debut of Pawan Kalyan’s son, Akira Nandan, in the movie.

The Buzzing Fan Theories

The sheer anticipation for OG, directed by Sujeeth, has led to a torrent of fan-made theories flooding the internet. One popular narrative suggests that the towering figure of Akira Nandan could be cast as a younger version of Pawan Kalyan’s character, Ojas Gambheera 'OG'. Another theory goes a step further, claiming that the film’s director, Sujeeth, might make a surprise announcement of OG 2 with Akira in a prominent role during the end credits.

Perhaps the most ambitious speculation involves a possible crossover, hinting at an OG-Saaho cinematic universe. Given that Sujeeth previously directed Prabhas’s Saaho, fans are frantically looking for any hidden connections or Easter eggs that could link the two high-octane gangster dramas, hoping to see a new 'Mega' hero emerge from this potential universe.

The Mother’s Clarity: Renu Desai Sets the Record Straight

Amidst this relentless buzz, it was Pawan Kalyan’s ex-wife and Akira’s mother, actress Renu Desai, who stepped forward to douse the speculative fire. Over the past few months, Renu has consistently and unequivocally denied all rumours about Akira’s film debut, particularly his involvement in OG.

In a clear and firm statement to the media and through her social platforms, she confirmed: “Akira is not in OG. I have said it 100 times, and I will say it another 100 times: if he ever decides or even thinks of acting, I will post it on my Instagram. If it is there on my Insta, it is true.” She has openly stated that her son is currently pursuing his higher education in filmmaking in the USA and that acting is not his immediate focus. This definitive clarity should ideally put an end to the fan theories, but as any follower of Tollywood knows, a fan's hope is hard to extinguish.

The Question of a Surprise Cameo

Despite Renu Desai’s strong denial, the faint hope of a surprise cameo still lingers in the minds of the Power Star’s devout fans. After all, the grand premieres and opening day shows are often the perfect stage for such high-profile reveals. Could director Sujeeth have managed to orchestrate a brief, secret appearance—a mere nod or a post-credit glimpse—that even Akira’s mother wasn't aware of, just to fuel the cinematic universe talk?

For now, the “They Call Him OG” experience will have to be savoured on its own merit: a mega-budget gangster flick with Pawan Kalyan’s signature style, a strong villain in Bollywood's Emraan Hashmi, and a cinematic vision from Sujeeth. The sensational debut of Akira Nandan remains a future event, one that Renu Desai has promised to announce herself, ensuring that when the time comes, it will be an official and unforgettable moment. Until then, the OG frenzy is purely about the Power Star's comeback.
