Mark your calendars and brace yourself for a storm—Pawan Kalyan has officially wrapped shooting for his much-anticipated action drama OG (short for They Call Him OG), and the release date is locked for September 25, 2025. Production house DVV Entertainment dropped the news on social media with a punchy poster and the caption: "PACKUP for GAMBHEERA…GEAR UP for the RELEASE…See you in theatres on 25 September 2025. #OGonSept25 #TheyCallHimOG #OG"
Directed by Sujeeth, known for his stylish action storytelling, OG will see Pawan Kalyan don the role of Ojas Gambheera, a mysterious gangster returning from the shadows after a decade. The teaser image—complete with a blood-stained arm and brooding atmosphere—hints at a raw, revenge-driven narrative set in a dark underworld. It's not just another action flick; it’s a calculated cinematic explosion, echoing real-life parallels with organized crime resurgences in urban India, as noted in global crime studies.
Adding serious weight to the project is Emraan Hashmi, making his Telugu debut as the film’s main antagonist. Priyanka Arul Mohan stars opposite Kalyan, promising both emotional depth and star power. The music, handled by S Thaman, is already stirring buzz, and the soundtrack will drop under Sony Music South—another feather in its commercial cap. With a production team led by D.V.V. Danayya (of RRR fame) and Kalyan Dasari, expectations are sky-high.
What’s more, the film is reportedly aligning with Netflix for its post-theatrical streaming release, banking on the platform’s soaring South Indian content viewership—up 15% in 2024 alone. It’s a smart play for global reach, and with Pawan Kalyan’s massive international fanbase, OG could very well be the next pan-India sensation. One thing’s for sure: come this September, Gambheera won’t be the only one making a comeback
