OG is a 2025 Indian Telugu-language period action crime film, written and directed by Sujeeth, and produced by D. V. V. Danayya.

A few months after it was officially announced in December 2022, principal photography of They Call Him OG began in April 2023 in Mumbai. Filming experienced several delays due to Kalyan’s political commitments (especially after he became deputy chief minister of Andhra Pradesh in June 2024), and concluded in July 2025. The film has music composed by Thaman S, cinematography jointly handled by Ravi K. Chandran and Manoj Paramahamsa and editing by Naveen Nooli.
They Call Him OG was released worldwide in theatres on 25 September 2025, setting the biggest opening day record in India in 2025.[8] It received mixed reviews from critics and emerged as the eighth-highest grossing Indian film of 2025 and the highest grossing Telugu film of 2025.
