Pawan Kalyan’s “OG” has generated extraordinary buzz, with fans eagerly awaiting its release. The hype is sky-high, not just in the domestic market but also in the USA. Every promotional update has only intensified the excitement.
The anticipation is translating into strong demand, with advance bookings for premiere shows in the USA opening this weekend. Trade circles are closely watching the film, drawing comparisons to Rajinikanth’s “Coolie,” which created history by grossing $3.04 million from its premieres, a first for a Tamil film.
Industry experts believe “OG” could replicate similar momentum. Early estimates suggest that the film may cross $2 million from premieres alone, and the upcoming trailer launch is expected to push the buzz even further.
For context, Pawan Kalyan’s highest North American grosser so far is “Agnyaathavaasi,” which collected $2 million in its lifetime despite being a commercial failure. With the current market expansion and increased appetite for big-ticket Telugu films, analysts feel that “OG” can comfortably achieve that figure in its premiere shows alone.
Directed by Sujeeth, “OG” features Pawan Kalyan as Ojas Gambheera, a gangster returning to his mafia world after years of hiatus. Priyanka Arul Mohan Plays Kanmani, his lover-turned-wife, with music composed by S Thaman and production by DVV Danayya. The film is slated for release on September 25, 2025.
