Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s OG has been one of the most awaited Telugu films of the year. The movie released amid sky-high expectations and opened to massive crowds across Telugu states. While the response has been mixed in some regions, the Nizam area has turned out to be a safe zone for ace producer and distributor Dil Raju, thanks to his smart business planning.
As per trade buzz, Dil Raju acquired the Nizam rights of OG for around ₹55 crore, including GST. Even though the film didn’t reach the extraordinary range that fans expected, it has managed to collect close to ₹50 crore share in this region, ensuring no major losses for the distributor. With well-structured agreements and recovery clauses in place, Dil Raju seems to have handled the deal wisely, keeping his investment secure.
OG enjoyed a terrific opening weekend with houseful shows and strong advance bookings. However, weekday collections slowed down slightly as mixed word-of-mouth began to spread. Despite that, the film continues to perform decently in urban centers, especially in Hyderabad and Warangal.
Industry experts say Dil Raju’s calculated approach helped him stay in a safe position even when the film didn’t meet sky-high expectations. Over the years, his experience in the distribution business has made him one of the most trusted names in the Telugu industry.
In summary, OG might not be breaking box office records, but it has ensured safety for its Nizam distributor. With upcoming weekends and festive holidays ahead, trade circles are now waiting to see if the film can turn its steady run into a profitable one.
