PM Modi attended the centenary celebrations of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as the Chief Guest at the Dr Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi.
When Pawan Kalyan’s They Call Him OG was released in theaters on September 25, one thing caught fans by surprise! Neha Shetty’s sizzling number was missing from the action entertainer. Neither the filmmakers nor the actress officially spoke about the song, but it was widely reported about the development when the number was shot. The actress too shared photos from the sets back but never mentioned that the pictures were from an OG song. And recently, at the film’s success press conference, when director Sujeeth was asked why the song was missing from the film, he replied, “Did we ever say that we shot such a song.”

After a significant hike in the ticket prices of They Call Him OG, from Tuesday, the prices have come back to a normal. And with Dasara festival on, in a move to boost the footfalls at the theatres, the makers have finally decided to add Neha Shetty’s sizzling song ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’ to the film. The makers have made the announcement on their social media page stating that the song will be added in theatres from Tuesday evening shows. It’s a club song that was shot by Neha Shetty in Thailand. According to sources, the song will further give a high to fans and audiences and elevate the narrative.
The filmmakers felt that the special song would affect the flow of the narrative and hence dropped it from the final cut. But it was an afterthought to bring it back. The special song features Neha Shetty sizzling in a peppy track, which will reportedly appear at the pre-climax part of the film. Although the actress doesn’t share screen space with Pawan Kalyan, fans find the song appealing enough for theatrical attraction.
The industry is abuzz with debates over which actress is the perfect fit. Will the role, demanding immense emotional depth, go to Sharvari, known for her ability to fully inhabit complex, character-driven roles? Or could the makers opt for Ananya Panday, who might bring a fresh, contemporary sensibility and a unique perspective to the tragic tale of a modern-day bar dancer? Alternatively, Triptii Dimri, whose recent rise in popularity and acclaimed performances have established her as a powerful new face, is also a strong contender.
This casting decision is arguably the most crucial element for the sequel’s success, as the chosen actress must not only honour the legacy of the original film but also anchor a narrative for today’s audience. With the film slated to go on floors early next year for a year-end release, fans and industry insiders alike remain primarily focused on the final choice, eager to see which actress will be tasked with carrying forward the powerful cinematic legacy of Chandni Bar.
