Allu Arjun vs Pawan Kalyan: Japanese Dialogue Battle

0

The release date of OG is nearing, and while the fans were waiting for the film’s trailer to drop, the makers suddenly released a Japanese song last night, Washi Yo Washi, which led to the comparison between Allu Arjun and Pawan Kalyan. 

Sujeet wrote the song, with Pawan singing it. It was not a regular song, and it sounded like a dialogue part mixed with music. 

After this song’s release, netizens and fans started comparisons between Allu Arjun and Pawan Kalyan, as the former also spoke Japanese dialogues in the Pushpa-2 intro fight.

So, a section of social media users praise the Pushpa 2 actor’s diction, as they feel it was more authentic, while another section feels Pawan’s diction while mouthing Japanese words is more entertaining. This argument and comparison is now trending on the internet.

Meanwhile, as said above, the trailer of OG arrives tomorrow, and the film’s bookings will also open in all territories this weekend, and it is all set for a huge start at the box office.

OG Andhra Pradesh: Exhibitors and Audiences in Dilemma

0

Telugu audiences were thrilled when they heard that Pawan Kalyan’s OG would have paid premieres in both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana before its official release. However, there is now confusion among exhibitors and viewers in Andhra Pradesh regarding the premiere timings.

Recent big films like Hari Hara Veera Mallu and Pushpa 2 had paid premieres at the same time across both states. But surprisingly, OG has different show timings for its special premieres. According to the government order in Andhra Pradesh, shows will begin at 1 AM on September 25th. Meanwhile, the Telangana order allows shows to start at 9 PM on September 24th.

This difference has created uncertainty for theatre owners and audiences in Andhra Pradesh. Reports suggest that the AP government might issue a revised order, but until then, the situation remains unclear.

Some theatres in Andhra have already opened bookings for the 1 AM shows. If the premieres are allowed on the night of September 24th, they will need to reschedule. Even audiences are unsure whether to book tickets now, as many believe the premieres will definitely happen earlier.

The makers of OG need to step in and clarify the situation quickly to avoid further confusion in Andhra Pradesh.
