Pawan Kalyan's OG Director Sujeeth Joins SS Rajamouli, Prashanth Neel, and Lokesh Kanagaraj In The Back-To-Back 100 Crore Openers

Hyderabad, September 25 - Scoring 100 crore worldwide on the very first day is one of the toughest milestones in Indian cinema. Though the milestone is now not out of reach, only a handful of films have achieved that, and only 4 directors have managed to achieve this back-to-back. Director Sujeeth, who has patiently worked on superstar Pawan Kalyan's They Call Him OG after Prabhas-fronted Saaho, has joined the elite league of SS Rajamouli, Prashanth Neel, and Lokesh Kanagaraj in delivering back-to-back 100 crores openers at the worldwide box office. 1. SS Rajamouli – Baahubali 2 (2017), RRR (2022) The pioneer of pan-Indian blockbusters, Rajamouli redefined the Indian box office. Baahubali 2 shocked the trade with an earth-shattering 200+ crore day one, followed by RRR, which repeated the magic with another 200 crore+ worldwide opening. He is the only Indian director to achieve this feat. 2. Prashanth Neel – KGF Chapter 2 (2022), Salaar (2023) Neel proved his mettle as a mass-action storyteller with Kannada superstar Yash-fronted KGF: Chapter 2 and cemented it with Pan-India superstar Prabhas-fronted Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire. Both films crossed 150+ crore globally on day one, making him one of the few to achieve this consistency. 3. Lokesh Kanagaraj – Leo (2023), Coolie (2025) Lokesh has become the face of Tamil cinema's new-age mass entertainers. After Thalapathy Vijay's Leo scored a 140 crore+ opening, the mavrick filmmaker followed it up with superstar Rajinikanth's Coolie, which became the first Tamil movie to take the opening of 150+ crores worldwide. 4. Sujeeth – Saaho (2019), They Call Him OG (2025) Sujeeth surprised the industry with Prabhas-starrer action thriller Saaho's 125+ crore global debut and has now repeated the feat with superstar Pawan Kalyan's gangster action thriller They Call Him OG.

The film, directed by Sujeeth, had its paid premieres today (September 24), ahead of its grand theatrical release tomorrow, and the response has been nothing short of phenomenal.

Aryan Khan's The Ba***ds of Bollywood With Shah Rukh Khan's Cameo Debuts At Number 4 On Netflix With 2.8 Million Views

Mumbai, September 4 - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan made his directorial debut with Netflix's satirical action comedy drama series The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Aryan also created and co-wrote the series, which has been making noise on social media. Despite the huge hype and several cameos of Bollywood superstars and directors, including Shah Rukh Khan, The Ba***ds of Bollywood debuted at number 4 in the non-English category on Netflix. The series scored 2.8 million views in its opening weekend. The show has been trending at number 1 in 9 countries, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bahrain, Maldives, Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Mauritius. The series is 5 hours and 12 minutes long, which helped the streamer score 14.8 million viewing hours. The viewership of the series is decent, but not up to the sky-high expectations, especially considering the top-tier cameos of SRK, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, SS Rajamouli, Emraan Hashmi, Karan Johar, and many others. Produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment, the series stars Bobby Deol, Lakshya Lalwani, Raghav Juyal, Sahher Bambba, Anya Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Manish Chaudhari, Rajat Bedi, Meherzan Mazda, Divik Sharma, Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Vijayant Kohli, Neville Bharucha, and Armaan Khera, in prominent roles. The series follows actor Aasmaan Singh from Delhi, whose successful debut under producer Freddy Sodawallah leads to a role opposite Karishma Talvar in Karan Johar's film, but he must contend with Freddy's multi-film contract, interference from Karishma's father, Ajay Talvar, emerging romance, and unforeseen complications.

They Call Him OG Becomes Pawan Kalyan's Biggest Opener With Advance Booking

Hyderabad, September 24 - Power star Pawan Kalyan's gangster action thriller They Call Him OG is set to storm the box office. The film has been receiving an exceptional response in pre-sales, not just in India but also in international markets. Directed by Sujeeth, They Call Him OG still has a few hours left for the release, and even before that, it has become Pawan Kalyan's biggest opener ever. The advance booking of the film is nearing 75 crores worldwide for the opening day, making it the biggest opener for the superstar. The previous biggest opener of PK was Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which scored approximately 67 crores worldwide on its opening day. OG, meanwhile, is heading towards taking a 2x start of HHVM, with trade believes that it might even take the opening of 150+ crores gross globally. It will be quite astonishing if OG manages to take the opening of 150+ crores, as it will be very close to PK's biggest lifetime worldwide grosser Bheemla Nayak (158.50 crores). Irrespective of what the opening will be, one thing is clear that OG will become the actor's biggest grosser within two days, which will probably be a record for a film featuring an A-lister. OG is heading towards scoring 90-100 crores pre-sales for the opening day. So far, it has grossed approximately 45 crores in India and 30 crores overseas, including the premiere shows. The pre-sales momentum has been excellent for OG, which is easily the most hyped film of PK in recent times. Produced by DVV Entertainment, OG stars Pawan Kalyan in the titular role, alongside Emraan Hashmi (in his Telugu film debut), Priyanka Mohan, Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy and Prakash Raj. The film revolves around a gangster named Ojas Gambheera who returns to Mumbai following his ten-year disappearance to kill another crime boss, Omi Bhau. Stay tuned...

Pawan Kalyan's They Call Him OG Faces Risk In Overseas Markets

Hyderabad, September 23 - Pawan Kalyan’s much-awaited action drama They Call Him OG is gearing up for a massive worldwide release, amid massive hype and strong pre-sales. Advance bookings in key territories like North America have been encouraging, with record-breaking ticket pre-sales. However, despite the hype, the film faces some real challenges overseas, which could impact its overall box office numbers. One major concern is the timely delivery of content to cinemas across multiple territories. Reports indicate that digital prints have yet to be fully dispatched in some overseas markets, raising fears of premiere cancellations or delayed screenings. ⚠️ Press Release (Safety)#YorkCinemas #TheyCallHimOG#OGMovie #Update pic.twitter.com/xoLCVV5oEU— York Cinemas (@yorkcinemas) September 22, 2025 Overseas distributors have already issued warnings to the makers regarding the continued delay in the product. Some of the theatre chains have confirmed the inability to screen the movie due to no content, while the North American distributor of the film, Prathyangira Cinemas, has shared that the Tamil version of OG will not be released there due to unavoidable content delays. Since overseas openings rely heavily on early premiere shows, even small disruptions can dent collections in crucial markets like the USA and Canada. Adding to the complication, the film has been certified with an A rating in India for its heavy violence, which could restrict audiences in certain international territories or invite additional censor edits. Due to unavoidable content delays, the Tamil version of #TheyCallHimOG will not be releasing in North America. However, the Telugu and Hindi versions will be screened across the region as planned. We sincerely regret the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding and…— Prathyangira Cinemas (@PrathyangiraUS) September 23, 2025 The financial stakes are equally high. They Call Him OG has already set lofty expectations, with trade estimates projecting over 50 crore from overseas on Day 1 alone. While strong advance sales show promise, the pressure to meet such numbers is immense. A shortfall in overseas earnings could place additional strain on domestic markets to balance the film’s breakeven targets. The issues are created by the makers themselves, as reports say that the post-production work is still going on, with just a day left for the premiere. This is not the first time a Telugu film has faced such issues, as these kinds of problems have arisen in the past as well. But despite the experience, things haven't changed much for the industry. With too much of frustration(Pressnote)#TheyCallHimOG pic.twitter.com/HvApV17N27— 4Seasons Creations AS (@4SeasonCreation) September 23, 2025 Despite these risks, Pawan Kalyan's star power and the film’s high production values ensure that anticipation remains strong. If distribution hurdles are resolved quickly and audience reception is positive, They Call Him OG still has every chance of delivering one of the biggest overseas performances for a Telugu film.
