The production house, DVV Entertainment, had earlier announced that the film is set for a global theatrical release on September 25, 2025. Taking to their official X (formerly Twitter) handle, they wrote:
“FIRING WORLDWIDE in cinemas on 25th September 2025… #OGonSept25”
Directed and written by Sujeeth, They Call Him OG features a star-studded ensemble including Priyanka Arul Mohan as the female lead, Sriya Reddy in a powerful role, and veteran actor Prakash Raj. The film promises a stylized yet emotionally intense cinematic experience, with a narrative described as “a feast of a massacre.”
With its high-octane action sequences, a compelling storyline, and a powerful cast, the film has already created significant buzz. The music is composed by S Thaman, adding another layer of intensity to the film’s atmosphere.
Originally slated to release in September last year, the film faced delays due to scheduling issues. Now, with the new release date locked and Emraan Hashmi back on set, the production is gearing up to deliver one of the most awaited action dramas of 2025.
As fans eagerly await the release, all eyes are on They Call Him OG, a project that not only marks a powerful collaboration but also brings Emraan Hashmi into the dynamic world of Telugu cinema.
