Mahesh Babu’s Khaleja has shattered a new record on its re-release. The action comedy entertainer, directed by Trivikram, is now the highest-grossing film in the USA among the re-releases. Given Mahesh Babu’s unparalleled stardom in overseas, this isn’t a surprising feat.
According to the latest update, Khaleja has earned $72,807 in this territory and has surpassed the previous highest film, Gabbar Singh, which collected $66,000. The Mahesh starrer is now inching towards the mammoth $100K mark. The movie initially failed at the box office, but over time, it earned a cult classic status, thanks to Mahesh Babu’s performance and Trivikram’s brilliance.
Even in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Khaleja registered phenomenal occupancies and is set to post solid numbers. Anushka Shetty played the female lead, while Prakash Raj essayed the role of antagonist. Produced by C. Kalyan, the film’s music was composed by Mani Sharma.
