After OG Success, Dil Raju plans Pawan Kalyan film with director Vamsi Paidipally

After a series of unfulfilled collaborations, filmmaker Vamsi Paidipally might finally be gearing up for his next major venture, this time with none other than Powerstar Pawan Kalyan.

Reports from Tollywood circles suggest that the Oopiri and Yevadu director, known for his balance of emotional storytelling and mass appeal, has shifted focus toward a project with the star politician-actor. This comes after his earlier attempts to work with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan didn’t materialize.

The buzz gained momentum during the success celebrations of OG, when ace producer Dil Raju publicly announced that he would soon be producing a film featuring Pawan Kalyan. Raju, who is known for his solid collaborations and strong creative partnerships, is said to be developing multiple scripts through his trusted team of in-house directors, which includes Anil Ravipudi and Vamsi Paidipally.

According to reports, Dil Raju and Paidipally have been brainstorming ideas for a socially relevant drama that suits Pawan’s evolving public image. Given the actor’s political commitments and selective film choices, the project is expected to carry both mass and message — a formula that has defined several of Pawan’s recent outings.
