Telugu Version All Time Top 10 Grossers

Pawan Kalyan’s OG enters the list of Top-10 Grossers of the Telugu film industry. The action drama crosses the full run gross of Sankranthiki Vasthunam Ala Vaikunthapuramuloo and settles at the 8th position.

RRR, the mighty multistarrer of Ram Charan and NTR, tops the list of Top 10 Grossers for Telugu films, followed by Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2.

Telugu Version Top 10 Grossers (Approx)

  1. RRR -620 Cr
  2. Baahubali2 -550 Cr
  3. Pushpa2 -505 Cr
  4. Kalki 2898 AD -485 Cr
  5. Salaar -360 Cr
  6. Devara -330 Cr
  7. Baahubali -320 Cr
  8. OG -273 Cr*(11 Days)
  9. Ala Vaikunthapurramulo -268 Cr
  10. Sankranthiki Vasthunam -265 Cr

If we consider overall numbers, Pawan Kalyan’s OG gross number will be 280 Cr, but if we consider only the Telugu version, then it will be 273 Cr.

The gross numbers are approximate, as many of the below films are pan-Indian films, and numbers will be reported for all languages.

So, there might be some difference with actual numbers, but these numbers are figured out considering all the factors, so they will be almost accurate.

Pradeep Ranganathan Denies Directing Rajinikanth–Kamal Haasan Film

The Tamil film industry’s biggest film, Rajinikanth-Kamal Haasan’s multistarrer, was confirmed by both stars a few months ago. There was talk that director/actor Pradeep Ranganathan will direct the much-awaited Rajini-Kamal multistarrer, which he denied in a recent interview. 

Produced by Red Giant Movies and Kamal Haasan’s RKFI, Kollywood’s biggest multistarrer was confirmed to be made under the direction of Lokesh Kanagaraj. But the team started looking for other options later due to many reasons. 

Directors like Karthik Subbaraj, Pa Ranjith, and a few others were rumored in the industry to helm this film. Pradeep Ranganathan, who shifted from director to actor, was also mentioned as a potential choice for the Rajini-Kamal multistarrer.

Pradeep Ranganathan clears the air on rumors of him directing Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan’s multistarrer

“I’m not directing the Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan multistarrer. I’m not taking it up because I’m currently focused on acting. At this moment, I can’t confirm whether I’ve been offered that film.”

With this, everyone understood that the Love Today and Dragon actor was also one among the list of the directors for the biggest film of Tamil cinema. 

There is another buzz in the industry circles that Kamal Haasan still believes Lokesh Kangaraj is the right person to handle this project, but we need to wait and see finally who will make it.

Samantha to Bounce Back?

Samantha’s last theatrical release as a lead heroine was Kushi, which was released in 2023. After that, the actress did not take on any lead roles in films. The latest buzz suggests that Samantha is gearing up for a strong comeback in the film industry. 

After Kushi, Sam was seen in Citadel, a web series that was exclusively streamed on Prime Video, and this year, she made her debut as a producer with Subham and appeared in a cameo role.

Samantha to play the lead actress in Vetrimaaran – Simbu’s Film?

Samantha is excitedly anticipating her big comeback in films, with reports from Tamil circles suggesting that she is in discussions to take on the female lead role in Vetrimaaran and Simbu’s upcoming project.

If this project materializes, then definitely this will be a perfect way for a comeback for the actress, as Vetrimaaran’s films always have a great scope for solid performances.

The film’s shooting is expected to start this month, and Anirudh is likely to compose the music, and it will be his first time with Vetrimaaran.

KGF 2 vs Kantara Chapter 1: Official 1st Weekend Box Office Numbers

KGF 2 and Kantara Chapter 1 are both produced by Hombale Films. The producers consistently announce their collections officially, and in most cases, these figures match with the trade reports.

During the release of KGF 2, the makers announced 546 Cr gross for the 1st weekend (4 days), and for Kantara Chapter 1, the Hombale team announced 335 Cr gross for the 1st weekend (4 days).

There is a significant difference in the box office collections of KGF 2 and Kantara Chapter 1

The collections of KGF Chapter 2 and Kantara Chapter 1 show a massive difference of 210 Cr, which came as a surprise to everyone. Many believed that Rishab Shetty’s film would pose a strong challenge to the records set by KGF Chapter 2.

But finally, KGF 2 has a clear and big lead, but the main reason was the film’s phenomenal Hindi performance, whereas for Kantara Prequel, Hindi is not performing as per the expectations.

Adivi Sesh’s Injury Delays Dacoit Shoot — Release Postponed

Actor Adivi Sesh’s last theatrical release was HIT 2 (2022), and he was scheduled for his next film, Dacoit, in December 2025. However, due to an old injury of Adivi Sesh, the release of the film has been postponed.

Reports suggest that Adivi Sesh’s injury is taking longer than anticipated to heal, causing a delay in the shooting of Dacoit. A major action sequence, which demands Sesh to be fully fit, has been postponed.

OG 11 Days Gross Collections

Pawan Kalyan’s OG had a decent second weekend with respectable collections at the box office despite facing competition with Kantara Chapter 1. The film saw good numbers for 11 days, and definitely if Kantara had not been released during Dasara, the film could have had much bigger numbers.

OG’s 11days gross collections are out, and Pawan Kalyan’s film is targeting a 300 Cr total in its full run

The Sujeeth directorial gathered a gross of 255 Cr across all versions in its first week and reached 280 Cr in gross collections over 11 days. After a decent second weekend, OG is on track to join the 300 Cr club in its full run.

From Tollywood, no film has joined the 300 Cr club this year, and “They Call Him OG” is all set to achieve this. Pawan Kalyan did not have even a 200 Cr grosser before the film, but with OG he achieved 200 Cr and 250 Cr and is now aiming for 300 Cr too.

OG Chasing Devara in USA

From pre-bookings to collections, there has always been a competition between NTR’s Devara and Pawan Kalyan’s OG among fans and audiences as well, especially for the USA collections.

Pawan and Sujeeth’s film takes the lead in North America, but in its full run, NTR and Koratala Siva’s film is likely to stay at the top, as it has good support from the Hindi language, whereas “They Call Him OG” Hindi numbers are minimal.

For comparison, Devara’s full North America run grossed $6.07 million, where the Telugu version contributed $5.5 million, and other languages contributed $570K.

For OG, the total 11-day North America collections are around $5.47M, with the Hindi version contributing just around 43K.

If we see only the Telugu version, OG comes very close to Devara, which collected $5.5M. Pawan Kalyan’s film’s total numbers as of now are at $5.43M, and it needs just around 70K to beat Devara, which is definitely possible this week.

But the lead of Pawan’s film over NTR’s film will be very marginal, as we can see that the other languages have given Devara Part 1 a comfortable lead. 

At the end of the day, both Devara and OG are huge profitable ventures in the USA.

Kantara Chapter 1 Eyes Karnataka’s 200 Cr Milestone

Kantara Chapter One is rocking in Karnataka, and it had a sensational opening weekend with close to 80 Cr. Today the film holds extraordinarily and will easily do double-digit gross collection. 

The trade expects the film to join the 100 Cr club by tomorrow itself, which will be the fastest ever for a Kannada film, making it an extraordinary feat. 

No film in Karnataka has collected 200 Cr gross, but Kantara Chapter 1 looks to break that, as today’s hold suggests that it is easily achievable, and if the hold continues, it could even target the 250 Cr milestone.

Undoubtedly for Kannada audiences Kantara is a bigger brand even than KGF. For other language audiences, KGF2 is bigger than Rishab Shetty’s spiritual action drama. The numbers of both films also reflect the same notion.
