Pawan Kalyan in OG

Pawan Kalyan’s much-awaited action drama OG is gearing up for a grand release on September 25, with advance bookings already creating a wave of excitement across Telugu states. The film, directed by Sujeeth and produced on a lavish scale, was expected to set new records at the box office with its massive fan following and hype. However, a sudden legal twist has now cast uncertainty over its ticket pricing strategy.

The Telangana High Court has refused to allow the ticket rate hike approved by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s government. The decision came after a petition filed by Mahesh Yadav, who challenged the government order that sanctioned higher ticket prices exclusively for OG. Acting on the plea, the High Court suspended the government’s notification, leading to confusion among both exhibitors and moviegoers. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for October 9.

As per the now-suspended order, ticket rates were fixed at Rs. 800 for premieres, while normal shows were priced at Rs. 277 in single screens and Rs. 445 in multiplexes. These figures had already been rolled out for advance bookings, and fans quickly rushed to secure their tickets at the announced rates.
