Omkaram Guruji’s Devotional Program – 25th July

The Raja Saab, which released worldwide yesterday, opened to mixed word of mouth but registered an impressive opening at the box office. As revealed by producer T. Vishwa Prasad during the film’s success meet, the Prabhas-starrer grossed approximately ₹112 crore globally on its first day, once again underlining the star’s formidable box office pull.

Addressing media queries, the makers clarified a key concern raised by fans regarding the aged Prabhas character briefly seen in the trailer. The team confirmed that a four-minute episode featuring this character has now been added to the film. According to the producers, the sequence could not be included earlier due to technical server issues during final delivery. To accommodate the scene without disrupting the narrative flow, a few other portions were trimmed. This clarification has helped clear major speculation surrounding the film’s content.

Director Maruthi also announced that ticket prices will return to normal levels starting Monday. He urged audiences to watch the film over the weekend and stated that regular pricing would be implemented thereafter, although it remains to be seen whether distributors will uniformly follow this decision.

Despite the mixed initial response, the team’s swift corrective measures have been viewed positively within trade circles. Addressing audience feedback promptly, rather than ignoring it, appears to be a sensible move by People Media Factory. The makers also dismissed social media rumours, confirming that the aged Prabhas look will not appear in the film’s second part, as it is already included in the current version.

With multiple new releases lined up from Monday onwards, the ongoing weekend is crucial for The Raja Saab. If occupancy levels remain stable, the film’s collections could see further growth. While the team maintains that audiences are responding positively to the updated version, a clearer picture is expected to emerge over the next four to five days.
