Chennai, Oct 2 (NationPress) Renowned cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa, one of the two cinematographers behind actor Pawan Kalyan's hit film 'They Call Him OG', recently expressed his gratitude in a heartfelt message.

On his X timeline, Manoj shared, "It's time for my gratitude for the small role I played in the film #TheyCallHimOG."
He began by acknowledging the contributions of other technicians involved in the project, culminating in a special note to lead actor Pawan Kalyan.
Manoj wrote, "Pawan Kalyan sir – after collaborating with you before, OG felt like experiencing your Viswaroopam again. Those 16 days were exhilarating. From non-stop action sequences to emotional moments, conducting official duties while memorizing Japanese lines, you tackled everything effortlessly. Your commitment to the craft of cinema is truly inspiring."
He then admitted that while he had always admired Tamil actor Vijay's work ethic, Pawan Kalyan's dedication on the set of OG was unmatched.
He expressed, "I used to think Vijay sir was the hardest working star hero, but your commitment for OG was extraordinary. I'm grateful for your trust in me once more. Beyond cinema, I respect how you manage your responsibilities towards those who believe in your governance – we all look forward to seeing your Viswaroopam on screen again."
The cinematographer also commended the film's director Sujeeth, remarking, "A visually captivating film owes its credit to the director. You determine the shooting schedule, advocate for the budget, and took it a step further with mock shoots for each scene, stunt visualizations, mood boards, lighting cues, and real art-inspired references. Any DoP could achieve a similar outcome with the meticulous planning and vision you had for OG. Hats off to you, Udhay, Bannu, Unreal Engine previz artist, and the entire AD team – exceptional work! Your six months of preparation for those 16 days speaks volumes about your perseverance, and this success is well-deserved!"
