We propose to search for millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in an annular region around Blazar OJ 287, the most promising candidate to host a nano-Hz gravitational wave (GW) emitting supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB). We plan to use the Parkes multibeam receiver to search for MSPs in the sky region around OJ 287. The proposed survey area of 143 square degrees is expected to yield at least one and possibly three MSPs. The observing strategy ensures that detected MSPs will be most sensitive to GWs from the proposed SMBHB in OJ 287. The timing of such MPSs should allow us to probe the properties of OJ 287 in the GW window.
