While Hari Hara Veera Mallu remains on the radar, the most eagerly anticipated project in Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s lineup is undoubtedly They Call Him OG. Directed by Sujeeth, this gritty period gangster drama has captured massive attention ever since its announcement. With the Hyderabad schedule recently wrapped up, the hype around the film is stronger than ever.
Now, the latest buzz creating waves across social media is that OG is eyeing a grand theatrical release on September 26, 2025. Unlike the usual speculative release dates, this one carries weight—fueling excitement among fans and trade circles alike.
What makes it even more intense? Nandamuri Balakrishna’s action-packed sequel Akhanda 2: Thandavam is reportedly scheduled to hit screens on September 25, 2025, setting up what could be one of the biggest mass movie clashes in recent memory. Two titans of Telugu cinema, Pawan Kalyan and Balakrishna, potentially going head-to-head at the box office is the kind of showdown fans live for.
However, there’s speculation that the makers of Akhanda 2 might reconsider the release date to avoid a direct clash. If that happens, OG could enjoy a solo run, increasing its chances of a massive opening and a record-breaking performance.
Even if the clash remains, it promises a high-voltage box office battle that will have fans and critics closely watching.
They Call Him OG stars Priyanka Arul Mohan as the female lead and features Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi in a fierce villainous role. The ensemble cast also includes Prakash Raj, Sriya Reddy, Arjun Das, and Shaam. The film is bankrolled by DVV Danayya under DVV Entertainments, with sensational music by Thaman—raising expectations for a powerful soundtrack.
With a stylish narrative, action-packed visuals, and a stellar cast, OG is shaping up to be a cinematic event of epic proportions. Stay tuned, because the countdown to September 2025 just got a whole lot more thrilling!
