0

Pawan Kalyan’s OG is gaining significant momentum in advance bookings as the release date approaches, with full-fledged bookings opening across all territories. OG day 1 pre-sales smashed past the 60 Cr mark now.

In India, the pre-sales have reached 33 Cr, including premieres, while the total worldwide pre-sales for OG for day 1 have surpassed 60 Cr, including premieres.

The film is expected to witness significant jumps consistently from this point and is poised for a historic, record-breaking opening for Pawan Kalyan, nearly doubling previous box office margins.

It’s well known that the makers failed in sending the content overseas on time, but now, all the issues have been sorted, and the content has been dispatched overseas, so there will be no issues for the premiere shows.

Overall, the film is set to achieve massive box office numbers, and if the word-of-mouth turns positive, it could break numerous records.

0

Pawan Kalyan’s highly anticipated film, OG, is encountering unexpected problems overseas due to content delays. The film’s distributors have openly criticized the situation, and the latest update reveals that the premieres in South Africa have been canceled.

Two premiere shows for the film in South Africa, one in Cape Town and the other in Durban, had sold out in advance. However, they are reportedly canceled due to a delay in the content.

Unexpected Issue for OG Overseas because of the content delay

Pawan Kalyan’s OG has garnered huge advance bookings across all overseas territories, with overseas sales already exceeding the 3 million mark. However, the film’s content has not been dispatched yet, leading to cancellations of early shows and causing tension among distributors.

Murugadoss Eyeing Sivakarthikeyan Again

0

In the latest action thriller from Tamil Cinema, Madharaasi, Sivakarthikeyan joined hands for the first time with director AR Murugadoss. The film did not do well at the box office, but the latest reports suggest that Murugadoss might work with Sivakarthikeyan again.

SK earned a lot of praise for his portrayal of Raghu, and Murugadoss received improved feedback compared to his recent works. However, Madharaasi struggled at the box office, managing to gross only 100 Cr and failing to achieve commercial success.

Madharaasi Combo to repeat again?

The latest news is that Murugadoss is planning another film with Sivakarthikeyan, but it’s uncertain if the actor will be willing to give the director another chance after such a disappointing outcome.

SK is currently occupied with Parasakthi, and his upcoming films have been confirmed with Don director Cibi Chakravarthy, Venkat Prabhu, and Pushkar Gayatri.

For the next two years, Siva Karthikeyan has already committed to his current projects, making it unlikely for him to sign another film with Murugadoss immediately, even though he is interested.

We’ll have to wait a few more days to see if the Ghajini director takes on other projects before committing to another film with the Amaran hero or if he decides to wait for the actor’s approval.

With just a day left until the premiere, the team behind ‘They Call Him OG’ hasn’t shared the complete content overseas yet. 4 Seasons Creation, the overseas distributor of OG lashes out at the team.

In an official note, the overseas distributor expressed concern over delays in content delivery by production houses and urged producers to be more accountable and mindful of the impact on international partners.

Poor planning by OG makers frustrates the overseas distributor

The overseas distributor (4Seasons Creation) of OG also said that if things continue like this, they can take the big Telugu films for free and bear the release and other financial expenses. 

The constant delays in delivering content and the last-minute rush jobs clearly show how poorly production houses are planning, a recurring problem in the Telugu film industry, especially for big-budget movies.

The poor and disorganized planning of Pawn Kalyan’s OG has surprised everyone, including the fans. Such last-minute efforts are bound to create chaos for those involved and significantly impact their businesses.

0

In a surprising turn of events, Malayalam actors Dulquer Salmaan, known for his recent blockbuster success as a producer with “Lokah: Chapter 1 Chandra,” and Prithviraj Sukumaran have been implicated in a customs raid in Kerala.

Customs preventive agents are raiding various sites in Kerala to find individuals smuggling vehicles from Bhutan with fake registrations to avoid taxes.

Raids called ‘Operation Numkhor’ were conducted at the homes of Malayalam actors Prithviraj and Dulquer Salmaan, leaving fans shocked. The results of the raids are still unknown. Interestingly, ‘Numkhor’ means ‘vehicle’ in Bhutanese.

The raids are happening at the same time in different places like Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, Kozhikode, and Malappuram.

Customs officials mentioned they launched the raids because some high-end cars were coming from Bhutan as used ones without tax payments.

Ticket Price War: High Court Goes Against Karnataka Govt

0

The Karnataka High Court has put a hold on the state government’s decision to limit movie ticket prices to ₹200 in all theaters and multiplexes. On September 23, 2025, they issued a temporary order following a legal battle with multiplex owners, film producers, and other folks in the industry.

In July 2025, the Karnataka government dropped a draft notification aiming to cap ticket prices at ₹200 under the Karnataka Cinemas (Regulation) (Amendment) Rules, 2025.

The Multiplex Association of India and a bunch of film production companies, like the Hombale team behind Kantara, have filed petitions against the new rule.

The main points they made were that the petitioners argued the ₹200 limit was random and didn’t have any solid data or research to back it up.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG and Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 teams will be delighted with the decision of the Karnataka High Court, as they can put the ticket price as per the demand, not the limited price cap set by the government.
