Superstar Mahesh Babu’s 2005 blockbuster Athaadu has made a spectacular return to the big screen with its 4K restored re-release, generating an overwhelming response from audiences worldwide. The film has amassed an impressive ₹3.25 crore in advance bookings globally, underscoring Mahesh Babu’s enduring appeal and solid fanbase two decades after the original release.
Coinciding with the film’s 20th anniversary and Mahesh Babu’s birthday, Athaadu 4K premiered in cinemas on August 9, 2025, with paid previews held a day earlier. The advance booking figures, including premiere collections, rank among the highest ever recorded for a Telugu film re-release. In the United States alone, the film garnered over USD 46,000 in pre-sales across 238 shows, signaling strong overseas interest. Should the walk-in audience match the pre-release enthusiasm, Athaadu 4K is poised to set new records for Telugu film re-releases at the US box office.
Industry insiders note that the buzz surrounding this re-release even surpasses that of Mahesh Babu’s earlier re-release, Khaleja 4K. With promising first-day collections and expected robust turnout throughout the weekend, Athaadu 4K has the potential to establish a new benchmark for re-releases in the Telugu film industry. The film’s nostalgic charm, combined with its enhanced visual clarity, continues to attract both longtime fans and new viewers alike.
Directed by Trivikram Srinivas, Athaadu features Mahesh Babu in the role of a cunning hitman, supported by a stellar ensemble cast including Trisha, Prakash Raj, Sonu Sood, Nassar, Sayaji Shinde, and Sunil. Upon its initial release, the film emerged as one of the highest-grossing Telugu films of 2005 and has since achieved cult status among audiences. The 4K restoration allows fans to experience the film’s gripping action sequences and witty dialogues in unprecedented detail and quality.
With both online and box office ticket sales soaring, the second innings of Athaadu have commenced with exceptional momentum, reaffirming Mahesh Babu’s unmatched stature in Telugu cinema and the timeless appeal of this iconic film.
