About OG: Plot, cast, review

The film marks Hashmi's official film debut in the Telugu industry.

Priyanka Mohan, Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy and Prakash Raj are also a part of OG in key roles.

Released on 25 September, They Call Him OG witnessed a grand opening collection despite mixed reviews from critics.

OG sequel, prequel update

Recently, a prequel and sequel to the film were announced.

"It is easy to write a story, but it is difficult to bring it to life on screen. In fact, I was not aware of the full OG story initially. I met Trivikram and Sujeeth after he mentioned his name. Sujeeth told me, 'You will be gangster in a Japanese attire, holding a sword and carrying a gun'. I did not fully understand the story at that time but when I saw my son reading the notes with joy, I realised that there is a relevance to this story for this generation," Pawan Kalyan said at the OG success event .

"So I told him to let us work on a sequel and prequel to OG. I know how frustrating it can be when a film fails but OG has given me the motivation to do films again. I want to continue the OG world in the time I get," he added.
