What’s New with Pawan Kalyan's Haiku 'Washi Yo Washi' from 'They Call Him OG'?

Chennai, Sep 19 (NationPress) The creators of the highly anticipated action film, ‘They Call Him OG’, directed by Sujeeth and starring Pawan Kalyan, have unveiled the much-anticipated track ‘Washi Yo Washi’, performed by Pawan Kalyan himself, bringing immense joy to his fans.

DVV Entertainment, the production company behind the film, took to social media to announce, “His voice. Our celebration. Have a blasting experience.”

This track, reminiscent of a Haiku poem, features Pawan Kalyan’s unique delivery, complemented by music from renowned Indian composer Thaman.

In the song, Pawan Kalyan's character conveys to Omi, the film’s antagonist, his strategy to defeat him. He says, “I will share a Haiku my guru taught me in my youth. Listen closely.”

Pawan then recites a Haiku in Japanese that describes the tactics required to capture a wild eagle. The Japanese lines translate to: “WASHI YO WASHI (Eagle oh eagle) Yasei no washi o korosu ni wa (To kill a wild eagle) Mazu tsubasa o kiri otosu hitsu yoo ga aru (You need to cut its wings first).”

Further, he explains: “Jimen ni ochitara..me o eguri dasu (When it falls on the ground, you pluck its eyes) Me ga mienaku nari, doko ni ikeba ii no ka wakara naku suru (It becomes blind and doesn’t know where to go). Sokode ashi o kitte ugokenaku suru (That’s when you cut its legs and make it immobile). Soshite, yasei no shinzou o eguri dasu noda (And that’s when you will pluck its wild heart out). Washi Yo Washi.”

The film has generated significant excitement among fans since a sneak peek was released on Pawan Kalyan’s birthday.

This glimpse showcased the antagonist reading a letter to OG (played by Pawan Kalyan), stating, “Dear OG, I look forward to meeting you, conversing, and ultimately killing you, your OMI. Happy birthday OG.” The video highlighted the antagonist brutally attacking victims with a baseball bat, setting the tone for the fierce conflict that OG faces. A scene featuring Pawan Kalyan wielding a Japanese Katana sword hints at a riveting showdown ahead.

Unquestionably, the teaser thrilled Pawan Kalyan's fans.

Produced by DVV Danayya and Kalyan Dasari under the DVV Entertainment banner—known for the global hit RRR—this film is anticipated to be the most significant cinematic event of 2025.
