Superstar Mahesh Babu’s film Khaleja, which didn’t fare well at the box office during its original release, is now enjoying a surprising wave of popularity as it prepares for a grand re-release on May 30, 2025, even in the USA.
Directed by Trivikram Srinivas, the movie is set to return to the big screen after 15 years, and fans are gearing up for a celebration. The moment advance bookings opened, the response was nothing short of sensational. In fact, it shattered the previous re-release record held by Vijay’s Ghilli, with over 62,000 tickets sold in a single day on BookMyShow.
So far, total ticket sales have crossed the 160,000 mark across platforms like BookMyShow and the District app, reflecting the strong buzz and anticipation surrounding the film. The momentum is expected to grow even further, potentially setting new sensational records in the trend of re-releases.
Khaleja features Anushka Shetty as the female lead alongside Mahesh Babu, with supporting roles played by Prakash Raj, Brahmanandam, Ali, Sunil, and others. The film’s music was composed by Mani Sharma.
