Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s high-octane action film OG has hit theatres and is receiving a super hit response from audiences. Following the film’s success meet held last night, noted cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa, who worked on the project, shared striking insights about Pawan Kalyan’s dedication, stating that the actor surpassed even Tamil star Vijay in terms of hard work and commitment.
Manoj, one of the two cinematographers on OG, described his 16-day shooting experience with Pawan Kalyan as a “roller-coaster ride.” He revealed that while he had previously worked with the actor, OG showcased a completely new dimension of his professionalism. “He shot intense action sequences, emotional scenes, and mass elevation moments continuously, while also taking short flights for official duties. I witnessed him signing government documents on set with one hand, holding a bloodied sword in the other, and simultaneously learning Japanese dialogues. Anyone else would find this extremely challenging, but he handled it with remarkable ease and determination — a true reflection of his passion for cinema,” Manoj wrote on X.
Drawing a comparison between Pawan Kalyan and Vijay, Manoj added, “I always believed Vijay sir was the most hardworking star I had collaborated with, but for OG, you went one step further. I appreciate the way you balance the public’s trust in you as a leader while devoting yourself to filmmaking.”
The cinematographer also lauded director Sujeeth, highlighting his meticulous preparation. “If a film looks extraordinary, the credit goes to the director. Sujeeth spent over six months preparing for just a 16-day hero schedule. His planning and dedication were outstanding, and that’s why the final output was exceptional,” he noted.
Manoj’s heartfelt post praising Pawan Kalyan and Sujeeth is now going viral across social media platforms.
