Pawan Kalyan's fans are raging in Hollywood star Ben Stiller's Twitter feed for a very random reason
To say that Pawan Kalyan's fans are excited to watch him on the big screen again would be a massive understatement at this point. The excitement is so high, they are tying even seemingly unrelated things to OG, his next movie. On Monday, Hollywood actor and producer Ben Stiller shared a tweet which simply read 'OG'. It likely had no connection with Pawan Kalyan or his movie. But that is not stopping latter's fan from running wild with it. The replies on Ben's were also completely taken over by the Telugu actors' fans. They shared his images and videos from his many movie. 'OG He is @PawanKalyan,' wrote a fan. 'PAWAN KALYAN 💛🔥,' wrote another. His tweet has 260 reposts and one of them is by the movie production company's own Twitter account, DVV Entertainment. Ben was likely just talking about a Knicks game. The New York Knicks are a professional basketball team based in Manhattan, New York City. They compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Ben is a big fan of the team. He attended the game on May 22 as well. Ben Stiller is an American actor, comedian, director, producer, and writer. He began his career in the late 1980s with short films and a brief stint on Saturday Night Live, later gaining prominence through The Ben Stiller Show (1992). He rose to fame with a mix of comedic and dramatic roles in films like There's Something About Mary (1998), Zoolander (2001), Meet the Parents (2000), and Night at the Museum (2006).

Ben Stiller knew he had to quit 'Saturday Night Live' after four episodes
Ben Stiller knew he had to walk away from "Saturday Night Live" after just four episodes. "I just knew that I wasn't a great live performer," the comedian told The Hollywood Reporter. "It got me nervous," he explained. "I get stressed out even thinking about it, and making movies is the opposite of that. You get to do it over and over again." Bob Odenkirk, who also worked on the variety show at the time, thought this move was unthinkable. "He was ballsy as h--- to walk away from 'SNL' and to be able to say with confidence about himself and his career, 'This isn't going to work for me. I have to leave here,'" Odenkirk told the outlet. After quitting "Saturday Night Live," Stiller was given the opportunity to continue sketch comedy – just not live. "The Ben Stiller Show" first aired on MTV and later on Fox. Afterward, he landed roles in "Reality Bites," "Heavyweights" and Jim Carrey's "The Cable Guy." Stiller's big break came with a role in "There's Something About Mary." Since then, the actor has starred in huge productions, including "Meet the Parents," "Zoolander," "Along Came Polly," "Starsky & Hutch," "Night at the Museum" and "Tropic Thunder." Stiller's acting career didn't sway his kids' interest in the industry. His children, shared with actress Christine Taylor, want to be actors. Ella and Quinlin both had minor voice roles in "Madagascar." "I feel probably what my parents felt," Stiller told The Hollywood Reporter regarding his children's interest in show business. "I recognize their talent and their desire to do it, and I support it a hundred percent. And I also know it's a tough business, and as a protective parent, you don't want your kids to have to suffer the slings and arrows." "I'm glad that for all of the things that I did wrong as a parent or being too caught up in my work, it's not like they were like, 'I don't want anything to do with this,'" he added. Stiller has actually been finishing up a project featuring his own parents. The "Severance" producer was raised by Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, two actors in their own right. Stiller lost Anne in 2015 and Jerry passed away in 2020. "I'm thinking I'm going to miss working on it," Stiller said of the documentary. "I have an excuse to just sit and watch my parents all day." As for what's next, he's not quite sure. "It'd be fun to work on a story that's just like two hours," he said.
