A key exhibitor cancelled bookings, causing a dent of nearly USD 160000 in projected collections, in Canada too.The film release date has therefore become uncertain in certain territories. Although the Telugu and Hindi versions are expected to proceed as planned, the Tamil version has ended up being postponed due to the same content delivery issues. While the first half of the film was sent late Monday night, the second half is yet to be received, leaving them unsure about timely screenings, distributors in North America revealed, TOI reported.The movie has not been delayed for the first time, from production setbacks since its launch in 2023 to the trailer release being pushed by a day, They Call Him OG has faced repeated hurdles.
