Pawan Kalyan's 'They Call Him OG' Races to Become Tollywood's #1 Grosser

As of September 30th, 2025, Pawan Kalyan's latest release, 'They Call Him OG', has emerged as his highest-grossing Telugu film at the worldwide box office. The gangster action drama has accumulated a remarkable 234.64 crores in global collections within just 5 days of its theatrical run.

However, the film's impressive start has been followed by a gradual slowdown in ticket sales, raising concerns over its ability to fully recover its massive 250 crore budget. Despite surpassing the lifetime earnings of Ram Charan's 'Game Changer' to become the second-highest Tollywood grosser of 2025, 'They Call Him OG' still needs an additional 22 crores to overtake the current #1 title holder, 'Sankranthiki Vasthunam'.

The film's director, Sujeeth, had hoped that 'They Call Him OG' would join the elite club of 100 crore Indian grossers this year. While it remains on track to achieve that milestone, the recent dip in collections may delay its ascent to the top of the Tollywood box office charts. Industry analysts will closely monitor the film's performance in the coming days to determine if it can maintain enough momentum to clinch the coveted #1 position.
