The celebratory wave surrounding actor and Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan, intensified after his massive recent hit, They Call Him OG. Directed by Sujeeth, the gangster film has resonated powerfully with audiences, but for Pawan Kalyan, the film's success is far more than just a box office victory—it's a public apology and a tribute to his loyal fanbase.

Addressing a large public gathering in the Ambedkar Konaseema district, Pawan Kalyan offered a rare, candid look into his recent career choices and the emotional motivation behind dedicating his all to OG.

The Shoutout That Struck a Chord: 'I Hear You Screaming OG'

During his address, the political leader and star was met with enthusiastic cheers from the crowd, who began chanting the title of his latest success: 'OG'. Responding directly to their passion, Pawan Kalyan offered a startling confession about his professional focus over the last two decades.

"I hear you screaming ‘OG’ there," he acknowledged. "I could’ve made a film like OG after 2004. But my concentration wasn’t on films, it was on society."

This statement highlights the actor's long-standing prioritization of public service and political commitment over his cinematic career. While many superstars maintain a high frequency of film releases, Pawan Kalyan has often divided his energy, a choice he now admits came at a cost to his supporters, particularly when his films didn't meet expectations.

The Emotional Toll: Fans Couldn't 'Hold Their Heads High'

Pawan Kalyan shared a deep emotional insight into his relationship with his fans, acknowledging the pain they experienced due to the recent lack of cinematic success. He revealed that he knew his unwavering dedication to politics and public welfare had left his fans feeling slighted and disappointed with his film output.

"My fans haven’t been able to hold their head high lately," he admitted. This poignant remark underlines the immense emotional investment fans have in their idol’s success and how film failures can be personally felt.

It was this realization that reportedly motivated him to pour his entire focus and energy into the Sujeeth-directed gangster flick. "I gave OG my all because you have been feeling hurt," he stated, positioning the film not just as a professional comeback, but as an act of heartfelt gratitude and redemption for his fanbase.

Livelihood vs. Responsibility: The Career Dichotomy

Pawan Kalyan used the platform to clearly delineate the two central pillars of his public life, explaining why his focus has often been fragmented:

• Cinema is Livelihood: He defined acting and filmmaking as his professional career and means of living.

• Politics is Responsibility: He emphasized that his political career is a "responsibility I chose to show my love for the nation."

It was the conscious decision to temporarily re-prioritize his livelihood—to concentrate fully on cinema for once—that resulted in the spectacular success of OG. The film thus stands as a successful bridge between his two worlds, proving that when he commits fully to cinema, the results are explosive.

The success of They Call Him OG is not just a film milestone; it's a testament to the powerful, emotional connection between a star and his dedicated fans, now finally able to "hold their head high."
