Pawan Kalyan They Call Him OG
Pawan Kalyan`s upcoming film, They Call Him OG, has been creating a lot of buzz. Ahead of its release, the film has been given A certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Interestingly, the last time Kalyan`s film received an A-certificate was in 2011 for the Vishnuvardhan-directed Panja. Meanwhile, the actor has reportedly been diagnosed with viral fever after attending a promotional event of the film days beforeits release.
They Call Him OG, directed by Sujeeth, has received an A certificate after removing around two minutes of scenes and modifying a few others. The CBFC allegedly asked for cuts or modifications in at least seven scenes from the movie. These include nine seconds of close-ups of amputations of hands, beheadings, a second of hammering, three seconds of neck stitching, and a minute-long violence scene in a lodge that have been cut from the film. This has resulted in one minute and 55 seconds of deleted footage.
