Superstar Mahesh Babu and Trivikram’s iconic Khaleja is gearing up for re-release on May 30 on account of Superstar Krishna Garu’s birth anniversary. The film didn’t perform on the expected lines during its initial release and was a big loss venture. However, as time passed, Khaleja earned a cult-classic status among the audience.
The re-release advance bookings have begun on an earth-shattering note. The film is currently selling over 13K tickets per hour on the Book My Show portal, and this is something that many didn’t expect. The previous highest peak hour for re-releases was under the name of Gabbar Singh, with about 5.5K tickets per hour. Khaleja has now shattered this record by almost a triple margin.
Without an ounce of doubt, Mahesh Babu gave his career best in the comedy department for Khaleja. The clips from this action comedy are often used by memers on social media, and the film feels fresh even in 2025. Anuskha Shetty played the female lead, while Prakash Raj essayed the role of antagonist. Mani Sharma composed the tunes. Let’s see what more records Khaleja will create in its re-issue.
