Pawan Kalyan’s OG Beats Pushpa 2 with Record-Breaking Cinemark XD Release

The hype around Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s OG has reached a whole new level. Director Sujeeth presents the gangster action drama, which hits theaters worldwide on September 25, 2025. The latest update confirms that OG already beat Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule in one major aspect, its Cinemark XD release scale in North America.

OG Surpasses Pushpa 2 in Cinemark XD Release

OG will premiere in over 89 Cinemark XD locations across North America, making it the biggest Telugu film ever on these premium screens. In comparison, Pushpa 2 released in 81 locations. This milestone highlights the massive hype and demand for Pawan Kalyan’s action-packed film. The North American distributor confirmed that OG will deliver the highest-ever XD premiere shows for a Telugu film, setting a new benchmark.

Strong Pre-Sales Heat Up the US Market

The team opened pre-sales for OG on August 27, 2025, and the response stunned everyone. Within just 24 hours, OG collected a massive 300K dollars gross, selling 10,000 tickets across 631 shows in 174 locations. This early rush already outperformed the pre-sale pace of Jr NTR’s Devara and Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2.

Early bookings in North America also touched 82K dollars from a handful of shows, proving the craze. Trade circles predict that OG could even cross the 3 million dollars in pre-sales mark, a rare feat that only RRR, Kalki 2898 AD, and Pushpa 2 achieved earlier.

Solo Release Advantage and Sky-High Expectations

OG will enjoy a solo release on September 25 because the makers of Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 postponed their film. This move clears the stage for Pawan Kalyan’s biggie to dominate the box office without competition. The production house and US distributor keep adding more shows as tickets sell out in minutes across America.

Cast, Crew, and What to Expect

Director Sujeeth crafted OG with Pawan Kalyan in the lead. Priyanka Mohan plays the female lead, while Emraan Hashmi makes his Telugu debut as the antagonist. The ensemble cast features Prakash Raj, Sriya Reddy, Rao Ramesh, and Subhalekha Sudhakar. Producers DVV Danayya and Kalyan Dasari bankroll the film under DVV Entertainment, while SS Thaman composes the music.

With record-breaking pre-sales, the biggest-ever Cinemark XD release, and massive hype around its trailer and songs, OG positions itself as one of the biggest Telugu blockbusters of 2025. Fans now eagerly wait for Pawan Kalyan to ignite the box office with this much-awaited action thriller.
