Powerstar Pawan Kalyan and director Trivikram Srinivas share a bond that goes beyond cinema. Their friendship is well-known, built on mutual admiration and respect. They worked together in superhits like Jalsa, Atharintiki Daredi, and Agnyathavaasi. Even in films not directed by him, Trivikram’s creative influence often shapes Pawan’s choices. It was Trivikram who introduced director Sujeeth to Pawan when the actor was planning multiple projects. While remakes like Vakeel Saab, Bheemla Naayak, and BRO were suggested by Trivikram to help Pawan balance films with politics, fans criticized the move, feeling originality was missing. Yet, behind the scenes, Trivikram remained an anchor in Pawan’s career, steering collaborations that kept momentum alive.

Sujeeth, who was initially considered for a remake, resisted the idea and instead pitched an original story, which became OG. The film not only promised freshness but also reinvented Pawan Kalyan’s look and style after years. From costumes to screen presence, Sujeeth brought back the Powerstar aura, igniting euphoria among fans. At the pre-release event, Pawan himself acknowledged that OG became possible because of Trivikram’s guidance. With OG set to hit screens on September 25, fans now see Trivikram in a new light—once criticized for remakes, he is being celebrated for backing Sujeeth’s vision. If OG turns into a blockbuster, the relationship between Pawan fans and Trivikram will transform from love-hate to enduring admiration, cementing both their legacies in Tollywood history.
