For the First Time, Pawan Gifted a Car to his Director

For the first time in his career, Pawan Kalyan surprised everyone by gifting a luxury car to one of his directors. The gesture was for Sujeeth, the director of They Call Him OG, and it quickly became a talking point in Tollywood.

Pawan Kalyan is known for praising his directors on stage, but his bond with Sujeeth feels different. From the making of OG to its release and success, their connection has been clearly visible. This gift only made that bond more evident.

Sujeeth managed to bring out a side of Pawan that fans rarely see. At the pre release event, Pawan made a dramatic entry in full costume, holding a katana, something no other director had achieved before. Even at the success meet, Pawan appeared with a gun alongside Sujeeth and music director Thaman, later saying he did it purely out of affection for them.

During the success meet, Pawan spoke emotionally about his earlier Directorial Johnny. He said that while he once felt disappointed about its result, he now feels happy he did that film, as it inspired Sujeeth to enter cinema. He also mentioned that with a team like Sujeeth’s, Johnny could have turned into a big success.

Pawan also confirmed that he will do a sequel to OG, even with his busy political and administrative schedule, mainly because of Sujeeth’s passion for filmmaking.

The car gift has made fans believe that Sujeeth earned this rare appreciation by giving Pawan deep emotional satisfaction as an actor.

They Call Him OG went on to collect around 300 crore at the box office, becoming the highest grossing Telugu film of 2025. The film featured Priyanka Mohan, Emraan Hashmi, Arjun Das, and Shriya Reddy, with music by Thaman and production by DVV Entertainments.
