In the midst of all this, Lagadapati Sridhar said nothing much to be read into their comments. He said&nbsp; &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think we should take social media explosions seriously.

Pawan Kalyan\'s \"They Call Him OG\" has made a significant impact at the North American box office, debuting with a USD 3.13 million premiere and accumulating over USD 4.1 million by early Day 2. The film has become the year\'s 4th biggest Indian grosser, surpassing Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR\'s \"War 2\" with its total collection nearing USD 4.2 million in just three days. Directed by Sujeeth and featuring Emraan Hashmi, the film has been a massive hit, breaking multiple box office records.\r\nThe film\'s success is a testament to its engaging storyline and strong performances. With advance sales for Day 3 already hitting USD 195,000, the total three-day collection is expected to cross the USD 4.2 million mark. \"They Call Him OG\" has outperformed several notable films, including \"War 2,\" which had earned USD 4.05 million till its second weekend.\r\nThe top three spots in the North American box office rankings are held by Rajinikanth\'s \"Coolie,\" Vicky Kaushal\'s \"Chhaava,\" and Mohit Suri, Ahaan Panday, and Aneet Padda\'s \"Saiyaara.\" Despite its impressive box office performance, \"They Call Him OG\" still needs to break even, given its high production costs. The film\'s rights were picked up for Rs 12 crore years ago, and the cost has risen exponentially due to delays.\r\nThe response to \"They Call Him OG\" is in stark contrast to Pawan Kalyan\'s last film, \"Hari Hara Veer Mallu,\" which had a lackluster performance in North America, collecting just over USD 1 million. With its current trajectory, \"They Call Him OG\" is expected to perform well in the coming days, cementing its position as one of the biggest Indian films of the year.
