With its enormous pre-release sales, OG, which is billed as the most anticipated Telugu film of the year, has already caused a stir at the box office.
After opening almost a month ago, advance reservations in the USA and Canada saw extraordinary numbers and broke multiple records. Given this momentum, the film's producers were optimistic that the Pawan Kalyan film would have a historic debut.
Shows delayed ?
But the excitement has reached a snag. The delivery of the finished content has been delayed even though there was enough time for post-production. Consequently, a number of large multiplex chains in the United States and Canada have begun to cancel their scheduled shows. International exhibitors must adhere to stringent regulations, which demand that digital content be provided well in advance. If there are any delays, they are forced to cancel their shows.
It is anticipated that this development will have an effect on the movie's premiere and opening day receipts abroad, especially in North America, where OG generated an unprecedented amount of buzz.
Delays questioned by fans
Fans are frustrated by the last-minute rush. The criticism was heightened by the fact that the trailer for the film, which Pawan Kalyan fans had been anticipating with great anticipation, was only unveiled yesterday. Online criticism has been directed at director Sujeeth and production company DVV Entertainment, with many people wondering why, despite a comfortable timeline, deadlines were missed.
OG will continue to hold its special premieres on September 24, with a global release scheduled for September 25. Although the overseas cancellations may hurt the film's overall day-one collection, trade circles predict the Pawan Kalyan and Emraan Hashmi film will have an incredible opening despite the setbacks.
