They Call Him OG Worldwide Box Office Collection
Despite the slowdown, They Call Him OG remains one of the top-performing Telugu-led pan-India films of 2025. The film continues to hold well in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
According to the makers, the movie has already crossed Rs 300 crore worldwide within 13 days, officially making it the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2025 so far. It has surpassed the total earnings of Sankranthiki Vasthunam (Rs 255.2 crore) and HanuMan (Rs 295 crore). The next big milestone in sight is Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rise, which made around Rs 350 crore.
Production house DVV Entertainment celebrated the milestone with a post on X (formerly Twitter), calling OG the ‘highest-grossing Telugu film of 2025,’ accompanied by a special poster.
However, industry experts say that the film’s momentum slowed following the Dussehra release of Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: Chapter 1.
