The Raja Saab shows no growth
As per the latest update on Sacnilk, The Raja Saab has managed to collect as low as ₹3.50 crore on its 8th day of release. It is the film's lowest single-day collection so far. The total collection of the film now stands at ₹133.75 crore after 8 days of release.
The Raja Saab is facing serious heat from Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu (MSVPG). The action comedy was released in theatres on January 12, ahead of Sankranthi. Demand for the film was so high that even extra shows were added at several theatres.
About The Raja Saab
The budget of The Raja Saab is reportedly ₹400 crore. The film is written and directed by Maruthi. Produced by TG Vishwa Prasad under People Media Factory, The Raja Saab stars Prabhas in the lead role. It also features Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, and Zarina Wahab.
Earlier Prabhas had told news agency ANI why he agreed to do the film. "When I heard the climax, I became a fan of Maruthi garu's writing. I honestly wondered whether he wrote it with a pen or a machine gun. Such a climax hasn't come even in horror-comedy films. You must watch it and tell me. After 15 years, Maruthi is giving full Darling entertainment. The film is arriving this Sankranti. All Sankranti films should do well, and along with them, The RajaSaab should also become a blockbuster," he said.
