Advance bookings for Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming film OG have crossed the US$1 million mark in the United States, setting a new record weeks before its release. More than 32,000 ticket sales were made, making OG the fastest Telugu film to reach this milestone in the American market.
The action drama, directed by Sujeeth, is due to hit screens on 25 September. Trade analysts predict that pre-sales could climb well beyond US$2 million, raising expectations for a historic opening weekend overseas.
In India, the excitement around OG has also reached new heights. On Pawan Kalyan’s birthday earlier this week, the first ticket for a special screening in the Nizam region was auctioned for an astonishing ₹5 lakh, underlining the actor’s unmatched popularity and the loyalty of his fan base.
The film features a strong cast alongside Pawan Kalyan. Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi takes on the role of the villain, while Priyanka Mohan plays the female lead. Actress Sriya Reddy, who also appears in a key role, recently described her character as “raw and hard-hitting,” adding to the anticipation.
Producer DVV Danayya has backed the project with an estimated budget of ₹220 crore, calling it one of his most ambitious films to date. With large-scale sets, stylish visuals, and high-energy action sequences, OG is being positioned as a true pan-India spectacle.
The short glimpse released on Pawan Kalyan’s birthday has already gone viral for its intense tone and powerful dialogues. While fans wait eagerly for the full trailer, industry experts believe OG has already secured its place as one of the year’s most significant releases.
With record-breaking pre-sales abroad and a wave of excitement at home, OG is on course to become a landmark moment in Telugu cinema.
