Pawan Kalyan
Actor and politician Pawan Kalyan's film They Call Him OG was released in theatres on Thursday, September 25. Fans of the superstar arrived in large numbers across the country to celebrate the release. They were seen dancing to DJ tunes on the streets outside theatres, and cheering and hooting inside cinema halls during the screening. Some even got emotional while watching the film, while others danced and screamed inside the hall. Emotions were running high among fans who came to watch the film on Day 1. Amid this, Prasad Multiplex issued an official notice addressing fan celebrations and their consequences.
Multiplex issues quirky advisory
"This is an advisory issued by Prasad Multiplex for all our valued patrons. Over the years, cinema has sparked many forms of celebration — whistles, cheers, applause, even dances in the aisles. These are traditions we love and cherish," they wrote, adding further, "However, with They Call Him OG, the excitement has gone beyond the usual. It has been observed that audiences, in the heat of adrenaline, are screaming, jumping, and even ripping their T-shirts out in sheer madness. While we admire the passion, we also understand the casualties. Hence, we sincerely request you to kindly carry an extra T-shirt along with you when coming to watch the film."

OG box office collection
The film had a massive opening at the Indian and international box office. It had special paid premieres in India on September 24, ahead of its global theatrical release. According to tracking website Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 20.25 crore nett (gross minus taxes) from the special premiere shows.
On Day 1, They Call Him OG recorded an estimated Rs 70-crore nett opening in India. This takes the total to Rs 90.25 crore nett at the domestic box office. Including the collection from the international market, They Call Him OG crossed Rs 100 crore globally.
Pawan Kalyan-starrer They Call Him OG, directed by Sujeeth, features a powerful ensemble cast with Emraan Hashmi, Priyanka Arul Mohan, Prakash Raj, and Sriya Reddy in key roles. Produced by DVV Danayya and Kalyan Dasari under the DVV Entertainment banner — the same powerhouse behind global phenomenon RRR — OG is already being hailed as the biggest cinematic event of 2025.
Cinematography for the film is by Ravi K. Chandran ISC and Manoj Paramahamsa ISC, while editing is by Navin Nooli. Titled after its cryptic lead and carrying the tagline They Call Him OG, the film promises a full-blown assault of mass, mystique, and madness.
The film was originally slated to hit screens worldwide on September 27 last year. However, its release was delayed. Now, the film has finally hit theatres almost a year later.
