Pawan Kalyan's Action Thriller 'OG' Creates Pre-Release Buzz With Record-Breaking Theatrical Deal in Sight

Hyderabad, July 12 - Telugu superstar Pawan Kalyan is set to dominate the latter half of 2025 with two major releases - Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG. While HHVM, after multiple delays, is finally slated to hit the big screens on July 24, it is director Sujeeth's action thriller, OG, that is generating unprecedented buzz among fans and trade circles alike. ## Even before the release of HHVM and in the absence of an official teaser or trailer for OG, the film's theatrical business is already a hot topic in the industry. According to a report by Track Tollywood, multiple distributors are in discussions with DVV Entertainment to finalise the theatrical rights for the Telugu states. The makers are reportedly quoting over ₹150 crore, a record-breaking figure for any Pawan Kalyan film to date. ## Should the deal be finalised at the quoted price, OG will become only the fifth film — after RRR, Salaar, Kalki 2898 AD, and Pushpa 2 — to cross the ₹150 crore mark in theatrical business for the Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana). This not only marks a massive milestone in Pawan Kalyan's career but also highlights the soaring expectations surrounding the film. ## OG features Pawan Kalyan in the powerful titular role of Ojas Gambheera, a feared gangster who resurfaces in Mumbai after a decade-long disappearance to confront and eliminate a rival crime boss, Omi Bhau, played by Emraan Hashmi. The film also stars Priyanka Mohan and Arjun Das in key roles. ## Directed by Sujeeth and produced by DVV Danayya under the DVV Entertainment banner, OG is scheduled for a worldwide release on September 25 this year in multiple languages. With its high-octane premise, star-studded cast, and record-setting buzz, OG is one of the biggest cinematic events of 2025. ## Stay tuned...

SS Rajamouli, Prabhas' 'Baahubali' Gets A New Re-Release Title And Release Date

Hyderabad, July 10 - A decade ago in 2015, on this same day (July 10), director SS Rajamouli's epic action drama Baahubali - The Beginning, starring Pan India superstar Prabhas, was released in theatres worldwide, and changed the Indian cinema for its greater good. ## Baahubali grossed approximately 650 crores worldwide and was the second highest-grossing Indian movie at that time, behind Aamir Khan's "PK" (792 crores). 2 years later, the second part, Baahubali - The Conclusion was released in April 2017, and became much bigger blockbuster than the first part. ## The second part grossed nearly 1800 crores worldwide, but it was again finished as the second biggest-grosser, behind Aamir Khan's "Dangal" (2070 crores), which released in 2016. Now, 10 years after the first film, both films are returning to the big screen in a single epic cut. ## Earlier this year, the makers announced the re-release of Baahubali, and now, sharing more details, it has been confirmed that both Baahubali - The Beginning and Baahubali - The Conclusion will be re-released as one film, titled Baahubali - The Epic, worldwide on October 31st this year in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam. ## This is probably the first time that both parts of a movie are getting re-released as a single cut, and the fans are excited to see how it works out. Produced by Arka Media Works, the film also stars Rana Daggubati, Anushka, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishnan, Sathyaraj, and Nassar in prominent roles. ## 10 years ago, a question united the nation…Now the question and the answer return together in ONE grand epic. #BaahubaliTheEpic releases worldwide on October 31st, 2025.#Celebrating10YearsOfBaahubali #DecadeofBaahubaliReign #Baahubali pic.twitter.com/iCdTyicF4F— Baahubali (@BaahubaliMovie) July 10, 2025 ## Stay tuned...

AA22xA6: Rashmika Mandanna To Reunite With Allu Arjun In Director Atlee's Film

Mumbai, July 9 - Pan-India superstar Allu Arjun's sci-fi film, tentatively called AA22xA6 with director Atlee has been a talk of the town ever since it was announced. It is a one-of-a-kind cinematic epic, and the makers are leaving no stone unturned to bring the best talent for the same. ## When it comes to the female casting for the movie, the makers have pulled off a casting coup by bringing Deepika Padukone, Janhvi Kapoor, and Mrunal Thakur on board. Now, according to the report by Pinkvilla, director Atlee has roped in Rashmika Mandanna to play a key role in the film. ## The film will reunite Rashmika with Allu Arjun after their all-time blockbuster, the Pushpa franchise. The report states that the actress will be seen in one of the most daring roles of her career. The dynamics of Rashmika and Allu will be very different from what they shared in the Pushpa films. ## It is said that Rashmika has already done her look test and body scan with Atlee in LA, and the pre-production work for her character is underway. Set in a parallel universe, AA22xA6 will feature some of the biggest male and female actors of Indian cinema. ## The shoot of this Sun Pictures' production has already begun recently, and the makers are expected to complete it by the second half of 2026, with post-production going on simultaneously. The movie is expected to be released by the end of 2026 or early 2027 in multiple Indian and international languages. ## Stay tuned...

Vijay Deverakonda's 'Kingdom' Announces A New Release Date; Film To Skip Hindi Release

Hyderabad, July 8 - Telugu heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda's much-awaited action thriller Kingdom, directed by "Jersey" fame Gowtam Tinnanuri, has been confirmed to hit the big screens on July 31st, after getting postponed on multiple occasions. ## The release date announcement of "Kingdom" has ended the wait for the fans, but the announcement comes with a twist. The movie was originally announced to be released in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi (as "Saamraajya"), but in the latest release date announcement, there is no mention of the Hindi version. ## While the clear reason for not releasing the movie in Hindi is not known yet, the reports say that it will be released directly on a streaming platform. Netflix is the streaming partner of the movie, and there was a different deal in place originally. ## However, the multiple delays led to a situation where Netflix asked the makers to release the movie in theatres as soon as possible. It is worth noting that to release a movie in a multiplex in Hindi, the film requires, at least, an 8-week theatrical window, and this seems not to be the case with Kingdom. ## To avoid these challenges, the makers have reportedly skipped theatrical release in Hindi. The film, produced by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, will release only in Telugu along with the dubbed version of Tamil on July 31st. Bhagyashri Borse features as the female lead alongside Satyadev in the movie, which has music by Anirudh Ravichander. ## ## Stay tuned...

Hyderabad, July 5 - Anushka Shetty's much-awaited action thriller film Ghaati has been postponed once again due to pending work.

The makers issued a statement, announcing the postponement owing to the pending work. ## "Cinema is a living river. Sometimes it rushes forward, sometimes it pauses to gather depth.

To honour every frame, every breath, we have chosen to hold its flight a little longer in our embrace. We believe this wait will make the experience richer, more intense, more unforgettable", the makers said in the statement. ## It is said that the film features high-quality VFX, and the delay is due to the incomplete post-production work. The new release date hasn't been announced yet. ## Team #GHAATI pic.twitter.com/UhUtWuMR6g— UV Creations (@UV_Creations) July 5, 2025 ## Stay tuned...

'Kannappa' Makers' Silly Claim After First Day Box Office Business

'Kannappa' Makers' Silly Claim After First Day Box Office Business

Hyderabad, June 28 - It might be a marketing gimmick, the makers declared actor Vishnu Manchu's divotational film Kannappa as an industry hit, only after the first day. This is the first instance when the makers of any film have declared their movie an industry hit, after the opening day itself. ## While the intention behind such a gimmick is unclear, it is probably the silliest thing to do, as in reality, Kannappa will fall way short of the box office mark, which is required to become an industry hit. It is basically a self-trolling act by the Kannappa team, which is strange to even think about. ## As for the box office collection, Kannappa opened to around 11 crores gross at the Indian box office and around 13 crores gross at the worldwide box office. This collection, however, is good for a Vishnu Manchu film. It is, in fact, the biggest opening for the actor. ## The presence of superstar Prabhas played a huge role in the opening of Kannappa, as any sort of buzz the movie was able to generate before the release was due to Prabhas, who played a cameo role alongside Akshay Kumar and Mohanlal. It needs to be seen how the movie fares in the coming days, which are crucial for the film's success. ## #Kannappa emerges as an Industry Hit 💥An unstoppable saga of faith and power now ruling the silver screen! The divine has spoken — audiences have blessed it! 🙏🎟️ Book Now: https://t.co/r9X3mxOcKEHar Har Mahadev 🔱Har Ghar Mahadev 🔥#KannappaInCinemas #KannappaMovie… pic.twitter.com/4VlWzV2drA— 24 Frames Factory (@24FramesFactory) June 28, 2025 ## Stay tuned...

Hyderabad, June 25 - Director Sekhar Kammula's drama thriller Kuberaa, starring Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna, is turning out to be a big success at the box office as it has topped 100 crores gross collection worldwide in just 6 days. ## Released on June 20, the film has been soaring at the box office, thanks to the positive word of mouth. After scoring the biggest opening weekend for Dhanush and Nagarjuna, Kubraa is holding very well during the weekdays, and has managed to surpass 100 crores gross as I type this. ## In the first 5 days, through Tuesday, the film grossed an estimated 97 crores worldwide, including approximately 72 crores in India and 25 crores at the overseas box office.

Interestingly, all four 100 crores grossers for Dhanush have come in the post-COVID-19 era. ## For Nagarjuna, it is his first 100 crores grosser, other than Brahmastra: Part 1, in which he played a cameo role, while Rashmika Mandanna scored her 9th 100 crore grosser. Director Sekhar Kammula, who has directed only 10 movies in his 25-year career, also opened his account in the 100 crores club with Kuberaa. ## Stay tuned...

All eyes are now on the trailer and other assets to boost the hype further. ## The Raja Saab features Prabhas in the lead role alongside Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, Boman Irani, Zarina Wahab, and Samuthirakani, among others, in key roles.
