Actor Pawan Kalyan is ready for a big box office return with his upcoming Telugu action thriller, They Call Him OG. Directed by Sujeeth, the film is already creating a buzz with advance bookings in India and overseas. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) gave the film an A certificate after minor edits, including the removal of about two minutes of scenes and small modifications. Despite the changes, fans are excited, and pre-sale numbers are soaring.
They Call Him OG Advance Booking Breaks Records
Even before its premiere, They Call Him OG is shaping up to be Pawan Kalyan’s biggest opener. Advance bookings are nearing Rs 75 cr worldwide for the first day, surpassing his previous record with Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which earned roughly Rs 67 cr globally.
Trade analysts believe the film could reach Rs 100 cr on day one, with domestic collections expected over Rs 75 cr and overseas adding more than Rs 50 cr. If the momentum continues, OG could even challenge Pawan Kalyan’s lifetime grosser (Bheemla Nayak), which earned Rs 158.50 cr worldwide.
Pre-sale numbers indicate the massive anticipation for the film. Premiere shows alone have grossed about Rs 45 cr in India and Rs 30 cr overseas. Analysts note that the mix of high-octane action, a gripping gangster story, and Pawan Kalyan’s star power makes this the most hyped film of his career. In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, premieres were held a day before the official release on September 25. Tickets cost between Rs 800 and Rs 1,000, and early bookings indicate record-breaking audience turnout.
