Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Khaleja, which didn’t find success during its original release, is now rewriting history with its re-release. Directed by Trivikram Srinivas, the film returned to theatres on May 30, 2025, and the day 1 response has been nothing short of sensational.
Now, Khaleja has achieved what no other re-release has done before. It is now the all-time biggest re-release, the all-time highest-grossing re-release, and the first Telugu re-release to cross $100K at the US box office. A film once underrated is now proudly rewriting its legacy.
Fans across the globe celebrated like never before, with packed theatres, special shows, and non-stop celebrations. The day 1 worldwide gross has touched Rs. 8 crore, a staggering number for a re-released film.
Featuring Anushka Shetty and supported by Trivikram Srinivas’s storytelling, Khaleja is finally receiving the recognition it deserves in theaters. With this momentum in place, it will be exciting to see how far this second chance will go.
