Pawan Kalyan’s ‘They Call Him OG’ creates history with nearly USD $900K Premiere Pre-Sales in North America

Pawan Kalyan’s highly anticipated action entertainer They Call Him OG has set the North American box office on fire even before its release. The film, which is slated to premiere in the USA on September 24th, has already minted nearly $900,000 in advance premiere pre-sales, making it the fastest Indian film to achieve this landmark.

A Thunderous Start

According to official distributor Prathyangira Cinemas reports, They Call Him OG has crossed USD 899K in premiere pre-sales in record time, creating an unprecedented buzz in the North American market. The numbers are a fitting birthday tribute to Pawan Kalyan, whose fandom continues to demonstrate extraordinary box office strength.
The numbers are in sync independent reports doing the round which was issued few hours ago. The report
report highlighted the film’s rapid momentum. At that point, OG had grossed over USD 780,000 across more than 400 locations and had sold more than 26,000 tickets in the USA alone. This figure soon swelled further, with total North America premiere advances reaching USD 845K. With multiple circuits adding new shows to cater to overwhelming demand, the film’s advance sales are expected to surge even higher over the next three weeks.

Fastest Indian Film to Breach the Milestone

What makes this feat extraordinary is the speed. No Indian film, including big-ticket titles headlined by pan-India superstars, has raced to nearly $900K in pre-sales so quickly. They Call Him OG has effectively rewritten the record books for premiere advance sales, reflecting not only Pawan Kalyan’s unmatched popularity but also the massive anticipation for the film’s scale and storytelling.

The film has been directed by Sujeeth, best known for helming Saaho starring Prabhas. The presence of Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi as the antagonist has further fueled anticipation. Hashmi’s powerful role marks his first major outing in South Indian cinema, making the project a true pan-Indian spectacle.

Eyes on the Million-Dollar Mark

With 23 days still left before premieres, trade experts are confident that They Call Him OG will cross the $2 million mark in advance sales well before D-Day, and potentially set new all-time benchmarks for Indian films in North America. Given the current pace, the film is poised for one of the biggest premieres ever for an Indian film overseas.
