Co-starring Emraan Hashmi, Priyanka Mohan, veteran actor Prakash Raj, Arjun Das and Sriya Reddy in key roles, âOG' is produced by D. V. V. Danayya, Written and directed by Sujeeth under DVV Entertainment banner. The film's music has been given by Thaman S.
Emraan Hashmi who is making his foray into Telugu cinema with âOG' will be seen locking horns with his onscreen nemesis, Pawan Kalyan.
Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan was last seen in the film 'Bro'. The film also starring Sai Dharam Tej released on July 28, which polarised critics and audiences due to its different content garnering its mixed reception which was either overwhelmingly positive or negative.The Telugu language supernatural-fantasy-comedy-drama film directed by Samuthirakani is an adaptation of the 2021 Tamil movie âVinodhaya Sitham' which had similar content. While âVinodhaya Sitham' was both a critical and box office success, âBro' was not so successful.
Bro' was largely criticised for being a remake instead of being something new as Telugu cinema has been renowned for its creativity and willingness to take risks even more than Tamil, Malayalam or Kannada cinema.
Others praised it for its more unique approach to adapting the original Tamil film. The movie combines supernatural elements with strong creative humour, making it a unique and interesting watch, which was acknowledged by most audiences who praised the inventive approach.
