Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming action entertainer, They Call Him OG (familiarly known as OG), directed by Sujeeth, continues to generate tremendous excitement across Tollywood. With the recent completion of its Hyderabad schedule, the production team, backed by DVV Danayya under DVV Entertainments, is now pushing forward at full pace. The film promises to be a stylish, intense action drama that has fans eagerly awaiting its arrival.

Strong buzz circulating on social media platforms now suggests that OG is aiming for a grand theatrical release on September 26, 2025. This news has sparked a wave of enthusiasm among Pawan Kalyan’s dedicated fanbase, but it also hints at a massive box office showdown. This is because Nandamuri Balakrishna’s much-anticipated sequel, Akhanda 2: Thandavam, is reportedly eyeing a release just a day prior, on September 25, 2025, setting the stage for a high-stakes cinematic clash.

While both films locking release dates so closely could potentially lead to divided screens and fierce competition, there is already speculation within industry circles that Akhanda 2 might consider shifting its release. If such a move occurs, it would provide OG with a solo run and a potentially colossal opening at the box office. However, should the clash remain, it promises to be a thrilling festival for Telugu cinema aficionados, with two star-studded biggies going head-to-head.

OG boasts a stellar ensemble cast including Prakash Raj, Sriya Reddy, Arjun Das, and Shaam, with music being composed by the renowned Thaman S, who is expected to deliver a powerful and electrifying soundtrack. With reports suggesting Pawan Kalyan will portray three distinct roles—a ruthless gangster, a powerful leader, and a martial arts trainer—this layered characterization adds to the film’s intrigue. With Pawan Kalyan leading the charge and Sujeeth at the helm, OG is undoubtedly shaping up to be one of the most exciting Telugu films of 2025, promising high-octane action and stylish visuals.
