The pre-release event for the highly anticipated film They Call Him OG was more than just a promotional event—it was a celebration of a dream come true. Despite heavy rains, the energy was electric as thousands of fans gathered to see their idol, Power Star Pawan Kalyan. But in a heartwarming turn of events, Kalyan shifted the spotlight, choosing to shower praise on his director, Sujeeth, whose journey from a devoted fan to directing his hero has become an inspiring story for many aspiring filmmakers.
The Unwavering Vision of a Fan
During the event, Pawan Kalyan recalled a touching detail from Sujeeth’s past. The young director had once told him he wore a headband from Kalyan’s film Johnny for a whole month as a young fan. This anecdote highlights the depth of Sujeeth’s admiration and passion for cinema. Kalyan further praised Sujeeth, stating he wasn’t just an "ordinary fan" but a filmmaker with "unmissable" strength and clarity on set. He revealed that Sujeeth's true talent isn't in detailed narrations but in his powerful and precise direction. This acknowledgment from one of the industry's biggest stars is a massive vote of confidence, not just in the film, but in Sujeeth's artistic vision.
The camaraderie between the two was evident, with Pawan Kalyan even crediting Sujeeth and music composer Thaman as the film's "stars" alongside himself. This show of mutual respect and admiration sets a unique tone for the film's release, making it a passion project for more than just its star cast.

The Sky-High Expectations
The road to They Call Him OG has been paved with immense anticipation. The combination of a top-tier cast, including Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi in his Telugu debut, and the powerful music of Thaman S has created a massive buzz. The film’s pre-release event, despite the rain, demonstrated the kind of fervent fan following that is eager to see this project succeed.
The core question now, as the film prepares for its grand release on September 25, 2025, is whether it will live up to the astronomical expectations. Sujeeth has already proven his ability to handle large-scale projects with his previous film, Saaho. However, directing a fan-favorite star like Pawan Kalyan, who carries the weight of massive public and political expectations, is a different kind of challenge.
Will Sujeeth’s deeply personal connection to the star translate into a film that resonates with the wider audience? Will his "unmissable" strength and vision on set be enough to create a cinematic experience that lives up to the hype? The pre-release event was a resounding success, but the ultimate test awaits at the box office.
This is more than just a movie; it's a testament to the power of a fan's dream and a star's belief in a new generation of talent. The OG Storm is about to hit, and the film's success will be the final word on this incredible journey from a fan wearing a headband to a director commanding the screen.
