It is true that OG, starring Pawan Kalyan, has generated massive hype. Fans have been waiting for a long time, and whether it is due to the music, the title, or sheer expectations, even the general audience is eagerly looking forward to it.
In fact, the film Hari Hara Veera Mallu never had such craze before its release. OG stands in complete contrast, riding on huge anticipation.
However, it should be remembered that even Rajinikanth’s Coolie had similar hype before release, but collections dropped after a point. Though expected to cross Rs 1000 crore gross, it failed to do so.
For OG to reach such numbers, hype alone is not enough. Director Sujeeth is best known for Saaho, which worked mainly because of Prabhas’ star power, yet even that film did not sustain collections beyond a certain point.
Unless OG delivers truly compelling content, it may struggle to achieve blockbuster status — and without that, Pawan Kalyan’s stardom could come under question.
For both mega fans and Jana Sena supporters, the success of OG at a very big level is crucial. It reflects not only his standing in cinema but also his political influence.
