Pawan Kalyan’s unpredictable shooting schedule has long been a source of frustration for filmmakers.
Despite agreeing to extended timelines, he has a track record of walking away after just a day or two on set, only to return months later. This inconsistency was a key reason why Hari Hara Veera Mallu took over four years to complete.
A similar pattern has affected OG, which has now been in production for more than two years. However, there is renewed hope that the project may finally be nearing completion.
Pawan Kalyan has reportedly assured the team that he will complete his remaining portions in a single, continuous schedule.
The film crew resumed work on Monday, and the actor is expected to join them on Wednesday.
According to sources, he has given his word to producers DVV Danayya and director Sujeeth that he will stay committed until his part is fully wrapped up.
With this development, the producers are now aiming for a June release for Hari Hara Veera Mallu and a September release for OG.
OG, a gangster drama, has already completed over 70% of its shoot.
Director Sujeeth previously filmed several action sequences using a body double for Pawan Kalyan, but the remaining key scenes now require the actor’s direct involvement.
Will Pawan Kalyan follow through on his promise this time? The entire team — and his fans — are watching closely.
