The AP government issued a GO on Wednesday pertaining to the ticket prices of OG in the state. It states that a 1 AM show is permitted on 25 September, the day of the film’s release, and that tickets for the same can be priced at ₹1000, ‘provided it should not in any case be more than five shows in a day.’ The GO also permits ticket prices to be hiked for single screens and multiplexes for the first ten days of release.

Families afford cheyyaleka ee movie vadilesi kantara ki potaru emo (Isn’t the price too much? Families who might not afford this will go watch Kantara).” Numerous others also left comments like, “1k aa,” in shock.
