Pawan Kalyan attended the event in an all-black ensemble, with the costumes signifying his character in They Call Him OG. Fans went berserk when they saw Pawan in such an attire, and his gesture was certainly one of biggest surprises of the night. “I never attended any event in my film costumes, but I did it for the first time only for my fans,” said Pawan. “Director Sujeeth pulled me into the world of OG so much that I forgot that I am Deputy Chief Minister and wielded the sword here at the event,” Pawan joked, adding that he was impressed with Sujeeth’s style of filmmaking. “The way he narrates the story may be short but he executes it effectively. The stylized action sequences is proof enough. Working for the film gave me the kind of high I experienced during Khushi (2001).”

Pawan’s OG scripts history

Three days before its theatrical debut, OG is rewriting the North American box office story. The Pawan Kalyan-starrer became the first ever Telugu film to have crossed $2 million pre-sales in North America without a trailer release — an indication of Pawan’s superstardom. While fans of the actor aren’t surprised with the new record, it indeed surprised trade analysts. “The film’s trailer is yet to be out and we have only three days for release, and look at the craze, it’s magnificent,” said a US exhibitor. Pawan Kalyan, known for his swashbuckling roles, is a huge box office draw. The fact that he also became the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh only added to the exciting buzz. While Pawan’s earlier films too had craze but the buzz shrouding OG is the best.

OG to open to record numbers

“We are expecting OG to open to record numbers, not only in the Telugu speaking states, but also in the US” said producer DVV Danayya. “Considering the craze, we are releasing the film in a record number of theatres. OG’s storyline, Pawan garu’s gangster role and stylized action sequences have fans swooning over. We are confident that the film will strike a chord with the audiences.” After disappearing from Mumbai’s underworld, Ojas Gambheera (OG) resurfaces after a decade to seek vengeance against rival crime lords. Directed by Sujeeth, Thaman has provided the music for the film. The trailer would be released in the presence of the entire team at an OG concert in Hyderabad on Sunday evening.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG: Telangana Govt Approves Whopping Ticket Hike And Special Shows | Glamsham.com

The upcoming gangster action drama They Call Him OG, starring Pawan Kalyan, has received a significant boost in Telangana ahead of its release. The state government has officially approved a ticket price hike and permitted an early premiere show, generating excitement and debate across the Telugu states.

As per a government order issued on Friday, a special premiere show is allowed on September 24, a day before the official release. Tickets for this premiere will be priced at ₹800. In contrast, Andhra Pradesh has cleared early shows only from 1 AM on September 25, with ticket prices set at ₹1000 — a move that has sparked dissatisfaction among fans.

From September 25 to October 4, Telangana will see increased ticket prices: single-screen tickets will be ₹100 higher, and multiplex prices will rise by ₹150. This brings average rates to ₹277 for single screens and ₹445 for multiplexes. While fans in Telangana welcomed the decision, social media saw backlash from Andhra Pradesh viewers who called for a more uniform policy across both states.

Directed by Sujeeth, They Call Him OG stars Pawan Kalyan as Ojas Gambheera, a feared gangster operating in Mumbai. The film also features Emraan Hashmi (in his Telugu debut), Priyanka Mohan, Arjun Das, and Prakash Raj. Produced by DVV Danayya and Kalyan Dasari under DVV Entertainment, the film’s music is composed by Thaman S.

The film is already creating waves overseas. In the U.S., advance bookings are strong, with OG outselling Pushpa 2 at Cinemark Dallas. Distributor Prathyangira Cinemas has lined up a massive North American release across 89 Cinemark XD locations — possibly crossing 100, setting a new record for Telugu films abroad.

They Call Him OG hits theatres worldwide on September 25.

‘You Have Applied Red Lipstick Today’, Pawan Singh Seen Playfully Flirting With Dhanashree Verma In Ashneer Grover’s Show

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh and dancer-choreographer Dhanashree Verma are currently part of Ashneer Grover’s reality show Rise and Fall. Their fun chemistry has become a point of discussion on social media. In the latest episode, the two were seen sharing light-hearted moments, with Pawan playfully flirting and openly admiring Dhanashree’s beauty. Alongside the banter, he also reacted to his ongoing controversy with Jyoti Singh, while Dhanashree indirectly addressed her ex-husband, cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, without taking his name.

Dhanashree Verma

During the 11th episode, hosts Arbaaz Khan and Aditya Narayan sat with Pawan and Dhanashree to discuss the game. Noticing her striking look, Pawan teased, “Bhai, you don’t talk much, but when you do… sometimes it feels like you’re always on high speed, 48 speed. But when this girl comes in her form… how do you swim!” His unexpected remark about swimming left everyone amused and curious.

Pawan Singh

Keeping the playful mood alive, Pawan added, “You’ve applied red lipstick today, so no matter what outfit you wear, add a bindi too.” Smiling, Dhanashree replied, “If I wear Indian, I will definitely wear a bindi. If all four of us stay till the third week, I promise I’ll wear Indian clothes with a bindi.” Pawan immediately responded, “That’s what I’m waiting for. The day you wear Indian, I’ll drop all my work and come to this house.”

Dhanashree Verma

Later, while sitting with Arbaaz in the living area, Pawan noticed Dhanashree passing by and quipped, “Somewhere Dhana ji is also getting slimmer,” making her slightly uncomfortable as she chose to ignore the comment. In another segment, Arbaaz brought up Yuzvendra Chahal, prompting Dhanashree to share her thoughts on the negativity surrounding their past. Without naming anyone, she said, “It’s all negative PR to pull someone down. If I start sharing details, these shows will seem like peanuts.” Supporting her, Pawan remarked, “I’ve been saying since day one, this show is nothing compared to what you’ve faced.”

Happy Birthday Pawan Kalyan; The Rise and Rise of ‘Powerstar’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Pawan Kalyan celebrates his birthday today (Tuesday). And for his fans, it’s like a festival. Affectionately called ‘Powerstar’ and ‘PSKP’ by his fans, Pawan is widely considered one of the most successful actors in Telugu cinema. Apart from the fanbase, his family members, industry colleagues and well-wishers have sent in their greetings. However, Pawan never celebrates birthdays; he rather prefers to stay indoors and work.

Powerstar of Tollywood

Pawan, who has acted in 30 films, has enthralled millions of Telugu cinema fans in a career spanning almost three decades. After debuting with Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi, Pawan starred in notable films in the late ‘90s, like Gokulamlo Seeta and Suswagatham. His 1998 romantic drama, Tholi Prema, was Pawan’s breakthrough film. He followed it up with blockbuster films like Thammudu and Badri and started creating his own fan base — slowly coming out of his brother and megastar Chiranjeevi’s shadow. Pawan Kalyan’s 2001 film Khushi was a rage, and an all-time industry hit in Telugu cinema. The youthful drama, directed by SJ Suryah, catapulted Pawan to superstardom. The sign was clear: a superstar was in the making. He became a much-sought-after Telugu actor over the turn of the century.

One of the highest-paid actors

Apart from starring in it, Pawan Kalyan made his directorial debut with Johnny (2003). Although the film was panned by the audiences, the actor received bouquets for the film’s technical finesse. Much like his fellow contemporaries, Pawan gradually transformed into an action hero with films like Gudumba Shankar, Balu, Bangaram, Annavaram, Jalsa and Puli. Despite facing a few setbacks and flops, Pawan made a roaring comeback with 2012 action entertainer Gabbar Singh, and 2013 family drama Attarintiki Daredi. Both the films were blockbusters and have scripted history with stunning collections. Pawan reinforced his position as Tollywood’s top box office draw, and a superstar, known for having fans across all age groups. He is among the highest-paid actors in the Indian film industry and commands a fan following second to none.

Deputy Chief Minister of AP

After a spectacular stint in cinema, Pawan took the political plunge and floated his own political outfit JanaSena Party in 2014. But he did not contest in the Andhra Pradesh state elections. Instead, the actor-politician publicly endorsed the Telugu Desam Party which came into power. Pawan’s party single-handedly contested the 2019 elections but was unsuccessful. And in 2024, he played a key role in forging an alliance between three political parties JSP, TDP and BJP. The alliance swept to power in a landslide victory and Pawan’s party created history by winning each of the seats it contested — 21 MLA seats and 2 MP seats in the state.

Soon after the results, Prime Minister Narendra Modi described, “Ye Pawan Nahi Aandhi Hai” (He is not a breeze; he is a storm) — the slogan became very popular. And as part of the coalition government, Pawan Kalyan rose to deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh state. But given his current packed political and administrative assignments, the actor has not taken up any new films.

Krish clarifies he did not walk out on Hari Hara Veera Mallu due to Pawan Kalyan; blames ‘personal issues’

Krish clarifies he did not walk out on Hari Hara Veera Mallu due to Pawan Kalyan; blames ‘personal issues’

Updated on: Sept 01, 2025 03:17 pm IST

Director Krish broke silence about walking out of Hari Hara Veera Mallu while promoting his upcoming film Ghaati with Anushka Shetty.   

Director Krish Jagarlamudi was supposed to direct Pawan Kalyan’s historic epic film Hari Hara Veera Mallu before he walked out of the project in early 2024. Producer AM Rathnam’s son, filmmaker Jyothi Krisna, had to take over the directing duties, with the film only releasing in July this year. While promoting his upcoming film Ghaati, here’s what Krish said about walking out of the project.

Krish was the director of Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu before he walked out of the project.

Krish clarifies why he walked out of HHVM

Krish spoke to the press in Hyderabad over the weekend about his upcoming film Ghaati. Claiming that he had nothing but respect for Pawan and Rathnam, he said, “I directed a portion of Hari Hara Veera Mallu. I have nothing but love and respect for Pawan Kalyan and AM Rathnam. When I was a kid, I saw Surya movies (Mega Surya Productions) and always dreamt of working with him. I have always been inspired by him.”

Krish also spoke about why he walked out of the project, mostly blaming Covid and his personal issues, though he did bring up scheduling conflicts. “We had some issues with the schedule, and Covid hit after we began shooting. I also had a few personal issues that prompted me to walk out of the project. And then Jyothi Krisna had to pick up where I left off. Since then, I have concentrated completely on Ghaati,” he said.

The making of HHVM

Pawan okayed the script of HHVM in 2019 and underwent a look test for it in early 2020. The film went on floors, and soon, Krish confirmed that he was working on a period film with Pawan. The film’s title was announced in 2021. Though initially marketed as a single film, in May 2024, the production house announced that it would be released in two parts after rumours of Krish walking out and the project being shelved began spreading. It was announced that Jyothi had taken over the project.

Speculations were rife that Krish had walked out as Pawan was juggling shooting for the film with campaigning for the Andhra Pradesh elections. He finished shooting for the film this year after winning the elections last year and becoming the Deputy CM of AP. Krish, however, stayed mum on his walkout till now. Ghaati will be released in theatres on 5 September. HHVM was released in theatres in July this year to mostly negative reviews and made ₹116.82 crore worldwide.

Pawan Singh Issues Public Apology To Anjali Raghav Over Inappropriate Touch Controversy; Actress REACTS

Bhojpuri singer and actor Pawan Singh has issued a public apology to actress Anjali Raghav after a video from a recent event in Lucknow went viral and sparked controversy online. In the video, Pawan Singh was seen placing his hand on Anjali’s waist while she was speaking on stage. Though Anjali smiled at first, he repeated the gesture, and she appeared visibly uncomfortable. This led to strong backlash on social media, with many calling out his behaviour.

Pawan Singh On Inappropriate Touch Controversy

After the video gained attention, Pawan Singh apologised publicly on Saturday night. In his statement, he said, “Due to a busy schedule, Anjali ji, I couldn’t watch your live. When I came to know about the matter, I felt bad. I had no wrong intentions because we are all artists. Still, if you were hurt by my actions, I sincerely apologise.”

Anjali Raghav responded to the apology via Instagram. She reposted his statement and wrote, “Pawan Singh ji accepted his mistake and apologised. He is elder than me and a senior artist. I have forgiven him. I do not want to take this matter forward. Jai Shree Ram.”

Earlier, Anjali had posted several emotional videos on Instagram. She said the incident had disturbed her for two days and addressed people who were mocking her, saying no woman would ever feel happy being touched inappropriately.

She firmly stated that she did not enjoy the act and said she was deeply hurt by the memes and negative comments. She also announced her decision to leave the Bhojpuri film industry, saying she no longer feels safe or respected.

The apology and her acceptance have now brought the matter to a close, at least publicly.

Here’s What Happened Between Pawan And Anjali

The incident in question occurred on Thursday during a promotional event for the Bhojpuri song Saiya Seva Kare. In the viral video, Pawan Singh can be seen touching Anjali Raghav on stage in a manner that made her visibly uncomfortable.

The video quickly spread across social media, with users calling out Pawan for his actions and demanding accountability. Many criticised him not only for his behaviour but also for bringing shame to the Bhojpuri film industry, which has long struggled with issues around image and representation.

As public pressure mounts, both fans and fellow artists are watching closely to see how the situation evolves, especially amid growing conversations around consent, respect, and accountability in the regional film industry.

During a promotional event for his newly released song Saiya Seva Kare, Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh, known for Lagavelu Lipstick, drew criticism on social media after allegedly touching co-star Anjali Raghav inappropriately on stage. In a video from the event, Pawan and Anjali are seen standing side by side, with Anjali dressed in a shimmering golden saree as she addresses the audience.

Pawan Singh Faces Allegations of Misconduct Involving Anjali Raghav

In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), Pawan and Anjali were seen standing together on stage. Anjali, dressed in a sparkling golden saree, addressed the audience, while Pawan, clad in a white coat and trousers, stood beside her. As she engaged with the crowd, Pawan gently placed his hand on her waist. At first, she smiled and carried on speaking.

Pawan once again placed his hand on her waist, making her visibly uncomfortable. He asked her to move her hand, but she refused. Still, Pawan continued touching her waist. After a while, he said: “Okay,” and removed his hand from her waist.

Internet Erupts Over Viral Video

A user, after watching the video, said: “How sickening to touch a woman inappropriately. He doesn’t even back down. Sicko!” “Pawan Singh keeps crossing the line. Remember when actress Akshara Singh made serious allegations against him? He has a pattern. And yes, the woman here should also have spoken up,” an X user wrote.

“What a disgusting and vile person he is! He did not even feel ashamed in front of so much public while doing such a despicable act. Aren’t you ashamed, @PawanSingh909? Anjali Raghav, feeling so uncomfortable, yet she is not slapping on the stage,” tweeted another social media user. “People like Pawan Singh defame the entire Bhojpuri community. They are unaware of how many young people influenced by them are going down the wrong path. It is a matter of shame,” tweeted another person.

Pawan’s past controversies

This is not the first time Pawan has found himself in the midst of controversy. A few years back, he faced charges for allegedly defaming actor Akshara Singh and sharing ‘vulgar’ photos and videos of her online. Reports indicate that an FIR was filed in connection with the case.

According to a DNA report, she chose to end their friendship after his marriage in March 2018. However, he was unwilling to let go and allegedly pressured her to maintain contact. Akshara further claimed that he threatened to ruin her career in the industry, and even went as far as allegedly threatening to kill her.

About Pawan’s career

Pawan is best known for his work in films like Pratigya (2008), Satya (2017), Crack Fighter (2019), Raja (2019), Sher Singh (2019), Mera Bharat Mahaan (2022), Har Har Gange (2023), among others. He also lent his voice to the song Aayi Nai from Stree 2.

Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu Releases on OTT

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The big-budget period drama, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, starring Pawan Kalyan, is set to release on OTT shortly after its theatrical release. Directed by Krish and Jyothi Krisna, the film also features Bobby Deol and Nidhhi Agerwal. Although it was released in theatres on July 24th with huge expectations, the film ultimately got a mixed response from both viewers and critics.

It is a common practice in Telugu cinema that films with a shorter theatrical run are quickly made available on digital platforms. In the same way, Hari Hara Veera Mallu is poised to begin streaming online within a month of its theatrical release.

The makers officially announced on the film’s X account that the historical epic will be available on Prime Video starting today, August 20th. The post read, “A tale of rebellion, rage and righteousness. The storm that started in theatres now takes over your screens.” The movie was released at midnight, and the announcement was made only a few hours before it became available on OTT platforms.

Although fans were pleased with the quick release, some felt that it was somewhat rushed, considering the film’s extensive scope. One fan mentioned that the movie might have benefited from a longer theatrical run to maintain its magic. On the other hand, others expressed their hope that the digital version would address the subpar visual effects and editing issues that received considerable criticism during its theatrical release.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu generated a huge buzz around the time of its release, particularly as it marked Pawan Kalyan’s first film after assuming the role of Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. In contrast to his usual practice of avoiding film promotions, the actor actively participated in promotional events throughout the country. Despite the anticipation, the film disappointed many due to its weak narrative and underwhelming visual effects.

The movie narrates the story of Veera Mallu, an outlaw played by Pawan Kalyan, who goes on a daring mission to steal the legendary Kohinoor diamond from Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, played by Bobby Deol. Nidhhi Agerwal plays the female lead in this action-packed film.
