Pawan Kalyan, Dy CM of Andhra Pradesh is currently busy concentrating on politics and administration and is discharging his duties.

He paused his current projects and the reason being surgery to his shoulder. A source shares "The Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister underwent a three-and-a-half-hour surgery on his right shoulder in July to treat a long-standing rotator cuff injury and an avulsion fracture. He is expected to undergo a second surgery on his left shoulder later this year."

The source added "With doctors recommending six to seven months of rehabilitation, Pawan’s return to the sets is now likely to happen only in 2027. The health setback has also thrown his film plans off schedule. OG 2, which was expected to begin shooting in September, has been pushed back. Pawan has meanwhile stopped allocating call sheets and hearing new scripts for OG 2. Back to his ministerial duties in AP, Pawan is using medical support and is expected to prioritize governance over films for the rest of 2026."

Inside talk is however the makers of his films, are not keen to disappoint his fans on his birthday which is on 2 September. They are planning to come up with the updates, posters and musical developments of his projects.
