Pawan’s OG scripts history
Three days before its theatrical debut, OG is rewriting the North American box office story. The Pawan Kalyan-starrer became the first ever Telugu film to have crossed $2 million pre-sales in North America without a trailer release — an indication of Pawan’s superstardom. While fans of the actor aren’t surprised with the new record, it indeed surprised trade analysts. “The film’s trailer is yet to be out and we have only three days for release, and look at the craze, it’s magnificent,” said a US exhibitor. Pawan Kalyan, known for his swashbuckling roles, is a huge box office draw. The fact that he also became the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh only added to the exciting buzz. While Pawan’s earlier films too had craze but the buzz shrouding OG is the best.
OG to open to record numbers
“We are expecting OG to open to record numbers, not only in the Telugu speaking states, but also in the US” said producer DVV Danayya. “Considering the craze, we are releasing the film in a record number of theatres. OG’s storyline, Pawan garu’s gangster role and stylized action sequences have fans swooning over. We are confident that the film will strike a chord with the audiences.” After disappearing from Mumbai’s underworld, Ojas Gambheera (OG) resurfaces after a decade to seek vengeance against rival crime lords. Directed by Sujeeth, Thaman has provided the music for the film. The trailer would be released in the presence of the entire team at an OG concert in Hyderabad on Sunday evening.
