Pawan Kalyan Becomes Highest Grossing Telugu Actor of 2025 with 250+ Crore Earnings
10 Oct
Summary
- Pawan Kalyan crosses 250 crore net collection in 2025
- OG and Hari Hara Veera Mallu contribute to his 274.8 crore earnings
- Nandamuri Balakrishna is the only actor with a chance to beat Pawan Kalyan's 2025 record
As of October 10th, 2025, Pawan Kalyan, the renowned Tollywood actor, has achieved a significant milestone by crossing the 250 crore mark in net box office collections for the year. His latest release, the action thriller OG, has contributed 187.8 crores to his total earnings, while his previous film, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, added another 87 crores.
Combining the collections from these two films, Pawan Kalyan's total net earnings in 2025 stand at an impressive 274.8 crores, making him the highest-grossing actor of the Telugu film industry this year. The only actor with a chance to beat Pawan Kalyan's record is Nandamuri Balakrishna, whose film Daaku Maharaaj has already earned 91.11 crores. However, Balakrishna would need to score an additional 183.7 crores with his upcoming release, Akhanda 2, to surpass Pawan Kalyan's 2025 box office dominance.
While OG had an earth-shattering start, entering the top 10 openers of all time in the domestic market, it is currently heading towards a losing verdict despite having an open run until Diwali. Nevertheless, Pawan Kalyan's impressive performance this year has solidified his position as the highest-grossing actor of the Telugu film industry in 2025.
