The anticipation surrounding Pawan Kalyan's upcoming film, "OG" (They Call Him OG), has reached fever pitch, with the first ticket for the movie fetching a staggering ₹5 lakh (approximately $6,000 USD) at auction. The winning bid was made by Team Kalyan Sena North America, demonstrating the immense love and support for the actor, especially among his fans in the United States.

What makes this auction particularly special is that the entire amount will be donated to Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena Party (JSP). This contribution will support the party's fund and aid in its public service initiatives. Fans and industry observers alike are hailing this gesture as a testament to Pawan Kalyan's unparalleled popularity and the strong connection he shares with his fanbase. The auction highlights the extremes of fandom in Tollywood, where such gestures are seen as a mark of devotion to the actor and his political endeavors.

Directed by Sujeeth, "OG" is a Telugu-language gangster action thriller set to release worldwide on September 25, 2025. The film has faced delays due to Pawan Kalyan's political commitments, especially after he was elected as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh in June 2024. Despite his busy schedule, Kalyan has managed to complete the film, raising expectations among fans.

"OG" boasts a stellar cast, including Emraan Hashmi, who is making his Telugu debut as the antagonist, and Priyanka Mohan as the female lead. Arjun Das, Prakash Raj, and Sriya Reddy also play pivotal roles. The film's music is composed by Thaman S, adding to the excitement.

The film's marketing has been innovative, with a teaser trailer titled "Hungry Cheetah" released on Pawan Kalyan's birthday. The recently released posters have also created a buzz on social media. The film's pre-sales in the USA have already crossed $900,000, and it is expected to reach $1 million soon.

Pawan Kalyan founded the Jana Sena Party on March 14, 2014. Although he initially chose not to contest the 2014 elections, he supported the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alliance. In the 2024 elections, the TDP-Jana Sena-BJP alliance won 164 seats in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly, and Jana Sena won all 21 assembly seats it contested. Kalyan is currently serving as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.

The success of the "OG" ticket auction and the anticipation surrounding the film's release highlight Pawan Kalyan's dual role as a popular actor and influential politician. His fans see the donation to Jana Sena as a meaningful way to support his political journey and his commitment to public service. As "OG" gears up for release, it is poised to be a major box-office success, further solidifying Pawan Kalyan's status as a "Power Star" in Telugu cinema.
