OG advance booking: Pawan Kalyan's actioner targets over Rs 100 Crore collection on day 1 globally

With one day remaining before its release, the movie has already brought in over Rs 56 crore in advance bookings worldwide, according to Andhra Box Office.

Filmmaker Sujeeth of Saaho fame is directing OG, and Pawan Kalyan is preparing for what might be the biggest box office debut of his career. The gangster drama, which will also feature Emraan Hashmi in a major role, hasn't had a perfect run to the big screen. It is scheduled to release on September 25.

Worldwide advance booking

With one day remaining before its release, the movie has already brought in over Rs 56 crore in advance bookings worldwide, according to Andhra Box Office.

Pre-sales from 4,296 shows in India alone total Rs 29.93 crore, and as more screens become available for reservations, the amount is probably going to increase.

The film’s hype has been amplified by Emraan Hashmi stepping in as the antagonist, alongside the larger-than-life gangster setting promised by the promos. According to industry trackers, OG is expected to surpass the Rs 100 crore milestone globally on its first day, joining a select group of Indian blockbusters that have accomplished this.

Delivery issues with overseas release

There are concerns about postponed premieres or cancellations because reports indicate that final cut digital prints have not yet been shipped to some regions. International premiere day sales have already been impacted by this.
