While the exact number is not known, reports suggest that OG carries a cost of a staggering 250 crores, which makes it the most expensive film in the career of Pawan Kalyan. In the entire Tollywood, it’s one of the most expensive projects ever made.

No doubt Pawan Kalyan is a big name in Tollywood, making him a strong force in the Telugu speaking states. However, outside these states, the reach of the actor is very limited. There are some pockets where Tollywood’s big-screen entertainers enjoy good footfalls but those pockets are again very limited in numbers and they won’t fetch a big collection at the Indian box office.
Considering the reported cost of 250 crores, OG will need a strong support from other dubbed versions apart from the original Telugu version. Speaking about the current situation, Pawan Kalyan’s Hindi market is negligible and even in other languages, there’s hardly any pull.

Pawan Kalyan is yet to hit the mark of 150 crores net with his films at the Indian box office, so OG’s cost of 250 crores and its theatrical breakeven is truly a matter of concern.
