Tollywood Star Pawan Kalyan’s ‘They Call Him OG’ Faces Ticket Rate Suspension in Telangana

Share


Tollywood’s Power Star and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan’s stylish action drama, They Call Him OG, enjoyed a strong extended weekend at the global box office.

In the Nizam region, OG registered impressive collections during its four-day theatrical run, largely driven by hiked ticket prices. Premiere shows were capped at Rs 800, single-screen tickets were priced at Rs 227, and multiplex tickets at Rs 445.

Despite expectations of a price drop after the first weekend, Nizam distributors maintained the elevated ticket rates on Monday. However, the Telangana government issued a shock directive on Monday evening, ordering the immediate suspension of the ticket hike G.O. All single screens and multiplexes across the state must now remove the special price hikes for OG tickets with immediate effect.

Following the new government order, ticket prices for OG are expected to be reduced to Rs 175 for single screens and Rs 295 for multiplexes. The move aims to ensure a steady and extended theatrical run for the film, which is already nearing its break-even point. The Telangana High Court had previously expressed serious concerns over the state government’s approval of the OG ticket hike G.O.

Ticket Price Hike for Kantara Sparks Debate Between Telugu and Kannada Film Industries

Share


The upcoming release of Kantara: Chapter 1, directed by and starring Rishab Shetty, set for October 2, has sparked discussions across film circles due to a recent ticket price hike approved by the Andhra Pradesh government.

Producers and distributors in the Telugu film industry expressed concerns, highlighting that Telugu films often face hurdles when released in Karnataka. Requests for higher ticket prices for Telugu films are frequently denied, and promotional materials such as posters and banners are sometimes removed, even for major films like RRR. Recent releases, including Game Changer, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, and OG, have encountered similar challenges, prompting some producers to approach the Karnataka High Court for intervention.

Industry stakeholders argue that granting higher ticket prices to Kannada films in Andhra Pradesh without addressing the difficulties faced by Telugu films in Karnataka could create perceptions of inequality.

Despite these concerns, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan decided to proceed with the ticket price hike. Pawan Kalyan emphasized that cinema should serve as a unifying force rather than a divisive one. He noted the strong support Telugu audiences have historically extended to Kannada stars—from Dr. Rajkumar to contemporary actors like Sudeep, Upendra, Shiva Rajkumar, and Rishab Shetty. The Deputy Chief Minister suggested that challenges faced by Telugu films in Karnataka should be resolved through industry dialogue, rather than creating barriers locally.

Teja Sajja’s latest blockbuster, Mirai, continues its unstoppable run at the box office in its third week. Directed by Karthik Ghattamaneni and produced by TG Vishwa Prasad and Krithi Prasad of People Media Factory, the film is inching closer to a ₹150 crore worldwide gross while simultaneously crossing the $3 million mark in North America.

Remarkably, this is Teja Sajja’s second consecutive $3 million grosser in the USA after HanuMan, a rare feat for a young actor navigating the competitive Telugu film industry. Despite a non-holiday release, Mirai has broken records and reinforced Sajja’s growing star power.

The film’s success has been further amplified during the Dussehra season, drawing strong audiences in the Telugu states. Elements such as the energetic “Vibe Undi” song, a compelling mix of action, emotion, and family appeal, along with strong repeat value, are driving its sustained popularity.

With its grand scale, festive energy, and wide-ranging appeal, Mirai is emerging as the must-watch entertainer of this Dussehra.

Trump Imposes 100% Tariff on Foreign Films, Threatening Indian Cinema

Share


On September 29, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on all movies produced outside the United States, a move that could significantly impact the global film industry, including Indian cinema. Trump justified the decision by claiming that foreign countries have “stolen” the U.S. movie-making business, likening it to “stealing candy from a baby.” He also criticized California’s leadership, stating that the state has been “particularly hard hit” by overseas production

The implementation details of this tariff remain unclear. Films are primarily intellectual property and not physical goods, making enforcement challenging. Additionally, many U.S. films are co-produced or partially shot abroad, raising questions about how such a tariff would be applied

.
This policy could have significant repercussions for Indian cinema, particularly Bollywood and Tollywood, which rely heavily on the U.S. market for revenue. The imposition of a 100% tariff could lead to higher ticket prices, reduced profitability, and potential shifts in distribution strategies. Moreover, retaliatory measures from other countries could further complicate the international film trade.

While the announcement has garnered attention, the lack of concrete implementation details leaves the full impact uncertain. Industry stakeholders are awaiting further clarification on how this policy will be enforced and what exceptions, if any, might apply.
