The excitement surrounding Pawan Kalyan’s highly anticipated action drama OG (They Call Him OG) has officially reached a fever pitch at the North American box office. With ten days still to go before its release, the film has already surpassed the impressive USD 1.5 million mark in advance ticket sales, setting the stage for what could be one of the biggest openings ever for an Indian film in that region.
Early trade reports indicate that over 52,000 tickets have already been sold, and the buzz just keeps growing. With major cinema chains kicking off pre-bookings this week, industry experts believe OG could easily hit the USD 2 million milestone before it even premieres, and if this momentum continues, reaching USD 2.5 million is definitely within sight. This kind of pre-release excitement is quite rare and marks a significant comeback for Pawan Kalyan, reminding everyone why he’s still one of the most influential stars in Telugu cinema.
Directed by Sujeeth, who’s known for his stylish action sequences, the film promises an intense showdown with Pawan Kalyan taking on Emraan Hashmi in a role we’ve never seen him in before. Priyanka Mohanan also joins the cast, adding even more intrigue to the project. Marketed as a gritty, high-octane action thriller, OG has already become the talk of the town, with fans eagerly counting down the days until its release.
OG is set to hit theaters worldwide on September 25, with special premieres in the U.S. on September 24. With advance sales skyrocketing and anticipation at an all-time high, the film is poised to not only deliver a spectacular opening but also to have one of the most memorable box-office runs of 2025.
