Pre-Sales Surge: The Raja Saab Crosses $1 Million Mark Ahead of Premiere

January 8, 2026 Published by rajeshe092eb6a68

There were initial doubts over whether The Raja Saab would breach the $1 million benchmark in North America pre-sales, especially after a sluggish start that dampened early trade expectations. However, the Prabhas starrer has witnessed a sharp turnaround over the last two days.

According to the latest tracking, North American premiere show pre-sales have now crossed the $1 million mark and continue to climb steadily, signalling renewed momentum as the film heads into its premiere screenings.

Directed by Maruthi, the horror-comedy features Prabhas in the lead, alongside Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Nidhhi Agerwal. The film is positioned as a fantasy-driven entertainer that blends romance, spooky elements, and humor—an unconventional genre mix that has sparked curiosity among overseas audiences.

On the musical front, Thaman S’s soundtrack is gradually gaining traction, with songs beginning to trend across platforms, further strengthening pre-release buzz in international markets.

Meanwhile, back home, the Andhra Pradesh government has already issued a G.O permitting ticket price hikes and approving premiere shows tonight. Industry sources indicate that Telangana is expected to follow suit within the next few hours, a move likely to bolster overall opening-day numbers.

With North America showing strong late momentum, The Raja Saab is now well-placed for a solid overseas opening, setting an optimistic tone ahead of its worldwide release.
