Director Sujeeth is currently basking in the success of the Pawan Kalyan starrer 'They Call Him OG', which is pulling staggering numbers at the box office. Recently, the 'Saaho' director mentioned that Telugu cinema should make films like those made by 'Jailer' director Nelson Dilipkumar.

Miss making fun films

While speaking with Gulte, the 34-year-old filmmaker expressed that he has been making serious dramas like his Prabhas starrer and the now-released 'OG'. He shared that he misses the joy of creating "fun films" and hoped to bring back that flavour in his upcoming projects. He hinted that his upcoming project will include some dark humor. Interestingly, he will be working next with Natural Star Nani.

For the unversed, Sujeeth began his career with the comedy film 'Run Raja Run'.

He further shared his inspiration for his craft. He said, "I watch Nelson movies, and feel like we should make more movies like those. In 1-2 years, we will eventually come to a saturation point with violence and this genre, so we have to shift from that. I will now make a film like 'Run Raja Run', films like that have more repeat value."

'OG' box office numbers

Speaking of the 'OG', the movie has minted over Rs 154 crore in a single day globally, according to a post shared by the makers. This movie is Pawan Kalyan's fastest film to cross the 100 crore mark in India.

According to the latest figures shared on Sacnilk, the film has minted over Rs 13.54 crore in India domestically by afternoon.

'OG' is set in the early 90s of Mumbai and tells the story of Ojas Gambheera. OG was a crime lord who disappeared but resurfaces in the underworld to take his rival Omi Bhau who is a ruthless mafia, played by Emraan Hashmi.

The movie includes Priyanka Mohan, Prakash Raj, Sriya Reddy and Arjun Das in key roles.
