Sujeeth’s gangster film, They Call Him OG, starring Pawan Kalyan, Emraan Hashmi, and Priyanka Mohan in lead roles, was released in theatres on 25 September to mixed reviews. The film, however, has performed well at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2025.

OG becomes the highest-grosser in Telugu for 2025

DVV Entertainment, which produced the film, confirmed the news on X (formerly Twitter) by sharing a poster that declared OG as the ‘highest-grossing Telugu film of 2025’. They captioned the post with the lyrics of the title song, writing, “Alalika Kadhalaka Bhayapadele…Kshanakshanamoka Thala Thegi Padele…Pralayamu Yedhuruga Nilabadele..Meti Dhaatiki Lokam Hadale…#OG is the highest grossing Telugu Film of 2025.”

According to Sacnilk, OG has collected ₹178.65 crore net in India in 10 days. Additionally, the ₹64.60 crore collection from overseas has brought the worldwide total to ₹278 crore. The film is expected to cross the ₹300 crore mark soon. These numbers indicate that it has surpassed the collections of Anil Ravipudi’s Venkatesh, Aishwarya Rajesh, and Meenakshi Chaudhary-starrer Sankranthiki Vasthunam. The film was the highest-grossing in Telugu this year, with a haul of ₹255.2 crore.

OG has yet to reach the top ten highest-grossing Telugu films of all time. It has to beat films like HanuMan ( ₹295 crore) and Pushpa: The Rise ( ₹350 crore) before it gets the spot.

About They Call Him OG

OG tells the story of a samurai-turned-gangster named Ojas Gambheera (Pawan) who returns to the violent world he left behind for love and an idyllic life with Kanmani (Priyanka). When his worlds threaten to collide, he returns to Mumbai to help his father-figure Satya dada (Prakash Raj) beat Omi Bhau (Emraan) and his men before it’s too late. The film ends by teasing a sequel.
