Pawan Kalyan's OG is undoubtedly one of the most hyped films in recent years for Telugu cinema. The makers have kept the hype alive among fans and neutral audiences, and as a result, OG's breakeven number reaches 200 Cr. Directed by Sujeeth, "They Call Him OG" registers a record pre-release business for Pawan Kalyan, and it is one of the biggest ever business totals for Tollywood.
With Nizam's rights being quoted at over 60 Cr, Andhra over 70 Cr, and Ceeded standing at 25 Cr, the Telugu states' business goes around 160 Cr. If we include overseas and ROI, then the business number will be more than 190 Cr. So, it means that Pawan Kalyan's OG needs to collect a 200 Cr share for breakeven. The demand for the theatrical rights of 'OG' has increased significantly, with big distribution companies competing for the rights.
Dil Raju is reportedly trying hard to secure the rights of Nizam, and film analysts say that he is almost certain to get the Nizam rights. According to trade experts, the Nizam rights are likely to close between Rs. 60 and 63 crores. The film's pre-release business deals are reflecting the unanimous positive buzz around OG, with trade circles predicting that OG will end up amassing over a whopping Rs 325 crore from pre-release business deals.
The film features a star-studded cast, including Pawan Kalyan, Priyanka Mohan, Emraan Hashmi, and others. With its release scheduled for September 25, 2025, OG is expected to be a commercial success and a record-breaker. The makers are planning to release the film on the said date, and fans are eagerly waiting to see the film's performance at the box office.
