The makers of filmmaker Sujeeth’s upcoming film OG, starring Pawan Kalyan in the lead role, released Emraan Hashmi’s first look from the film and revealed his character’s name. Emraan will play a gangster called Omi Bhau in the movie. The poster shows him sporting a beard and long hair, apart from a scar on his eyebrow. The poster reads, “Happy Birthday Omi Bhau.”
Sharing it, the film's producer, DVV Danayya, wrote, “Happy Birthday, deadliest OMI BHAU…@emraanhashmi. Couldn’t imagine a clash more electrifying than with #OG #TheyCallHimOG. (sic)” Fans seem happy with the poster, as many commented that they look forward to seeing the actor clash with Pawan onscreen.
One fan wrote, “Their face off gonna create havoc.” Another wrote, “Madly waiting to see this Clash. Seems like #Sujeeth Anna planning something Big & Exciting. @emraanhashmi look adhirindhi. (looks so good) Best looks for both the Hero & Villain. (sic)” Some fans also tried to zoom in and decode what was written on Emraan’s lighter in the first look, with some using the help of Google Translate to share that it says ‘ferocious hyena.’
