Pawan Kalyan’s highly anticipated film ‘They Call Him OG’ released in theatres yesterday, and it was an absolute treat for fans of the Telugu superstar. However, some fans of the actor landed into trouble as the Bengaluru Police registered an FIR against them for organising an event ahead of the release of his film without permission. Hindustan Times reported that the Bangalore Pawan Kalyan Fans Association had planned a stage celebration outside Sandhya Theatre in Bengaluru’s Madiwala without securing the necessary permission. The theatre was hosting a paid preview screening of OG film that evening.
The Bengaluru Police said that the organizers had set up a stage and a DJ system outside the venue for the celebrations without permission. Once the police received a tip-off, they dismantled the arrangements. The Madivala Police registered an FIR against the organizers after securing permission from a city court.
A police officer told PTI, “When we got to know, we immediately reached the spot and seized the loudspeakers on Wednesday and asked the organisers to dismantle the stage.”

Set in the turbulent 1990s, the story unfolds around Satya Dada (Prakash Raj), a port owner in Mumbai whose empire is under siege from the ruthless Mirajkar (Tej Sapru) and his hot-headed son Jimmy (Sudhev Nair). When a missing container filled with explosives sparks chaos, Jimmy unleashes terror, killing indiscriminately including Satya Dada’s younger son. But the bigger twist lies with Omi Bhau (Emraan Hashmi), a deadly gangster who desperately wants the container.
With the city spiraling out of control, all eyes turn toward Ojas Gambheera, aka OG (Pawan Kalyan), a once-feared mob boss living in exile. Reluctantly, he returns to Mumbai, setting the stage for a storm of vengeance. Who is OG, why did he vanish, and what binds him to Satya Dada? The film answers these questions while building toward a larger clash with Omi Bhau.
Directed by Sujeeth, the film stars Pawan Kalyan, Emraan Hashmi, Omi Bhau, Priyanka Mohan, Kanmani, Arjun Dasm Sriya Reddy, Gambheera, and more. Produced by DVV Danayya and Kalyan Dasari under the DVV Entertainment banner, OG was theatrically released worldwide on 25 September 2025.
