The Raja Saab Sets All-Time Theatrical Record in Telugu States
Rebel Star Prabhas has once again redefined box office benchmarks in the Telugu states with his upcoming film The Raja Saab. According to strong trade buzz, the film has secured a massive theatrical deal worth ₹180 crore for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana combined, making it one of the highest-ever pre-release deals achieved by a Telugu star in the region.
What makes this milestone even more remarkable is the film’s genre. Unlike Prabhas’ earlier action-driven spectacles, The Raja Saab is a horror-comedy, a genre traditionally considered less dominant at the box office. Despite this, distributors have shown extraordinary confidence in the actor’s market strength, proving that Prabhas’ box office appeal transcends genre boundaries.
Industry sources point out that Prabhas’ previous big-ticket releases such as Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD reportedly fetched under ₹160 crore in the Telugu states. The jump to ₹180 crore reflects not only his growing commercial value but also the strong anticipation surrounding The Raja Saab.
Trade analysts believe the record-breaking deal signals heightened expectations from exhibitors and audiences alike. With buzz steadily building ahead of its release, The Raja Saab is being widely tipped to set fresh box office records. Once again, Prabhas has reinforced his status as one of Indian cinema’s most powerful crowd-pullers and a true pan-India superstar.
