Pawan Kalyan's OG (They Call Him OG) has taken a banger opening at the box office. The action thriller, directed by Sujeeth, smashed over Rs 131 crore at the worldwide box office, becoming Pawan Kalyan's first-ever century opener and 15th Indian movie ever to achieve this feat. What's interesting is that OG set an all-time record in its domestic previews, surpassing every previous release by a huge margin.
They Call Him OG storms Rs 30.50 crore in paid premieres in India
Bankrolled by DVV Entertainment, They Call Him OG debuted by grossing Rs 30.50 crore in its paid premieres alone at the Indian box office, with the majority of the revenue coming from the Telugu states. The Pawan Kalyan-led movie surpassed the previous record holders Chennai Express, Stree 2, Pushpa 2, and Hari Hara Veera Mallu.
