Filming of Pawan Kalyan’s OG Paused
Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi has been diagnosed with dengue, leading to a temporary halt in the shooting of the much-awaited film They Call Him OG, which stars Pawan Kalyan in the lead role.
The film, also known as OG, is directed by Sujeeth, famous for his work in Saaho. The team was currently shooting in Mumbai when Emraan began showing signs of illness. He underwent medical tests after feeling unwell, and the diagnosis confirmed dengue.
Doctors have advised the actor to take full rest. As a result, the production team decided to put the shooting on hold. Emraan personally informed the team about his health condition, and they agreed that his recovery is the top priority. According to sources, he is expected to rest for at least a week before returning to work.
They Call Him OG is an intense gangster action drama. The story follows a powerful gangster who vanishes from the crime world but returns years later to take revenge. Pawan Kalyan plays the lead character, while Emraan Hashmi takes on the role of the main villain. This marks Emraan’s debut in Telugu cinema.
The movie also features a talented cast including Priyanka Mohan, Arjun Das, Prakash Raj, Sriya Reddy, and others in key roles. It is currently set to release in theaters on September 25, 2025, though the delay might affect the schedule.
Apart from OG, Emraan Hashmi was recently seen in the action film Ground Zero. He is also part of the upcoming spy thriller G2, the sequel to Goodachari, starring Adivi Sesh.
On the other hand, Pawan Kalyan is gearing up for the release of Hari Hara Veera Mallu on June 12, 2025, and also has another film, Ustaad Bhagat Singh, in the pipeline.
