రాహుల్‌ ఎగరేసిన డ్రోన్‌ని డైలాగ్స్‌తో క్రాష్‌ చేస్తున్న బీజేపీ | Rahul Gandhi | Full & Final

Pan-India superstar Prabhas’ romantic horror-comedy The Raja Saab is gearing up for a grand theatrical release on January 9, and the film has already begun generating strong buzz among fans as well as trade circles.

Directed by Maruthi, the film is said to have been made on a massive budget exceeding ₹300 crore, reportedly higher than what was initially planned. This scale and Prabhas’ market pull have helped The Raja Saab create solid pre-release momentum.

Although the complete pre-release business figures are yet to be officially revealed, early indicators suggest that the film will need to post massive box-office numbers to emerge as a commercial success.

According to trade estimates, The Raja Saab must gross over ₹400 crore worldwide to be declared a hit. In the Telugu states alone, the film is expected to collect close to ₹300 crore gross to break even.

As with most Prabhas projects, the Hindi version is expected to play a decisive role in the film’s overall recovery. Prabhas has consistently delivered strong box-office results in the Hindi belt over the years, and similar expectations are riding on this film as well.

Over the past decade, Prabhas’ films have posted impressive numbers at the box office, often performing well irrespective of critical reception. Despite the rising stakes and escalating budgets, Prabhas continues to be viewed as a box-office guarantee, making his films a relatively safe bet for producers.
