Guntur | ఆర్ఓబీ నిర్మాణంపై వైసీపీ పోరాటంతో టీడీపీ నేతల్లో టెన్షన్

With just three days left for the release of Raja Saab, excitement among fans and trade circles has reached fever pitch. Audiences are eagerly awaiting clarity on the premiere shows scheduled for the night of January 8, with Telangana emerging as the key focus area, where last-minute permissions often prove decisive.

A letter addressed to the Telangana Cinematography Minister has reportedly surfaced, seeking approval for special ticket pricing for the premiere shows. As per the proposal, ticket prices are suggested at ₹1,000 for multiplexes and ₹800 for single-screen theatres. The request also includes a hike in ticket rates for regular shows, citing detailed justifications. This development has triggered intense discussion across industry and trade circles.

In Andhra Pradesh, the situation appears largely smooth. Recent clearances granted to major films, including dubbed projects, indicate that Raja Saab is unlikely to face regulatory hurdles there. However, uncertainty continues over the approval of benefit shows in the Nizam region. Past legal and court-related complications have often delayed or derailed such permissions.

According to sources, officials are examining technical and legal options to avoid last-minute obstacles. Nevertheless, suspense remains high over whether benefit shows will be allowed and to what extent the proposed price hike will be approved. This ongoing uncertainty has kept fans and exhibitors on edge.

On the promotional front, the makers have completed all planned campaigns. The recently released high-energy song featuring Prabhas alongside the three leading ladies has been unveiled as a full-length video and has received strong traction online. With promotions delivering more than expected, anticipation to witness Prabhas in full form on the big screen continues to soar.

Arriving ahead of other Sankranti releases, Raja Saab enjoys a clear early advantage at the box office. While strong opening numbers are expected, sustained word of mouth will be crucial in determining the film’s long-term theatrical run. Fans remain hopeful that Raja Saab will live up to expectations and emerge as a blockbuster.
