Anticipation for Prabhas's 'The Raja Saab' is at an all-time high with premiere shows scheduled for January 8, preceding its grand release on January 9. The film's advance ticket sales in North America alone have surpassed $350,000, with over 1,045 screenings and 10,500 tickets sold, indicating robust global demand.
In India, particularly in Telangana, there is uncertainty surrounding the final permissions for these early screenings, with a proposal to the Cinematography Minister suggesting premium pricing of Rs 1,000 for multiplexes and Rs 800 for single screens. While Andhra Pradesh appears to have a smoother process, the Nizam region faces potential last-minute hurdles due to past complications.
Directed by Maruthi, 'The Raja Saab' is a romantic horror-comedy featuring Prabhas in nearly 90 percent of its over three-hour runtime. The film marks Prabhas's first foray into this specific genre, and the strong overseas performance is expected to boost domestic advance bookings, which are anticipated to open soon.
