Director Sujeeth, currently basking in the success of They Call Him OG, has confirmed that his next collaboration in the Sujeeth Cinematic Universe (SCU) will be with none other than Nani. The update came during the filmmaker’s US visit over the weekend, where he and composer S Thaman joined fans in Dallas for special screenings and celebrations of OG’s box office triumph.

At the Dallas event, Sujeeth was visibly moved by the fans’ energy. He recalled how Pawan Kalyan personally called him the day after release to congratulate him and shared that the moment will stay with him forever. “It’s amazing to see audiences celebrate with such passion, even on the 10th day. Next time, I hope to be here from day one,” he said to cheers from fans.

The director also described OG Part 1 as merely a “trial ball”, hinting that the next chapters in the franchise will aim even higher in terms of scale and celebration. When asked if Akira Nandan, Pawan Kalyan’s son, would feature in the future instalments, Sujeeth gave a cheeky smile and said, “What’s the thrill in revealing everything now.” And regarding his upcoming film with Nani being in the SCU, he nodded, giving a jolt of energy for fans

The Pawan Kalyan-starrer, which released on September 25, is storming towards the Rs 300 crore mark worldwide gross, with particularly strong performance in the USA, where it has crossed $6 million. Having comfortably entered the profit zone, OG continues to ride on a wave of euphoria across markets.

Music composer Thaman, who joined the director at the event, praised the US audience for their unmatched energy, saying it felt “just like Hyderabad, only louder.”

Produced by DVV Danayya and Kalyan Dasari under DVV Entertainments, They Call Him OG stars Pawan Kalyan, Emraan Hashmi, Priyanka Arul Mohan, Neha Shetty, Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy, and Prakash Raj. As the film continues its record-breaking run, fans are already buzzing about what Sujeeth and Nani’s upcoming SCU project might bring next.
