Sujeeth sold his Land Rover for OG, Pawan Kalyan gifts him a Land Rover Defender as a token of appreciation

Pawan Kalyan, a Telugu movie star and the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, made headlines recently when he gave director Sujeeth a brand-new Land Rover Defender as a thank-you for their successful film They Call Him OG. The luxury SUV, which is worth about Rs 3 crore, was given to Sujeeth right after OG did well at the box office. The movie went on to make over Rs 300 crore worldwide, making it one of Pawan Kalyan's biggest hits.

The Story Behind the Action

Many people thought the car was just a gift to celebrate the movie's success, but the real story behind the gesture is more personal and deeper. During the last stages of OG's production, the crew had to film a crucial schedule in Japan. This scene was important for both the film's visual continuity and its narrative impact. But the producers had a hard time approving the overseas schedule because of budget problems.

Sujeeth reportedly sold his own Land Rover Defender to pay for the Japan schedule himself, using the money to travel and finish the shoot. He was determined not to give up on his vision. Pawan Kalyan was very moved when he heard about this amazing sacrifice during the dubbing phase. In exchange, he gave Sujeeth a brand-new Defender of the same model and agreed to pay for the car's EMI payments.

He also talked about how important the moment was, especially since he had gone from being a fan of Pawan Kalyan to getting such a nice gift from him.

Many fans and people in the industry have praised the gesture, saying that it shows a rare bond of respect and admiration between an actor and director.
