Internet shocked as The Raja Saab US premiers tickets costlier than Avatar3. Prabhas The Raja Saab is releasing on 9 Jan 2026. The bookings for the US premiers have opened and what shocked all is the ticket rates are costlier than James Cameron's Avatar Fire and Ash.
Avatar Fire and Ash is releasing on 19 December 2025. The X (formerly Twitter) handle of Venky Box Office announced the ticket prices for the premieres of The Raja Saab as soon as they went live. They wrote, &ldquo;XD D-Box - $38 ( â‚¹3417), Special Premium Formats - $35 ( â‚¹3147), Standard D-Box - $33 ( â‚¹2967), XD / Other PLF - $30 ( â‚¹2698), Standard - $25 ( â‚¹2248).&rdquo;
Reactions to the post ranged from disbelief to annoyance. One person commented, &ldquo;18$ ( â‚¹1618) imax for a #AvatarFireAndAsh and a maruthi film 38$ ( â‚¹3417).. u ask why people wont come to theatre.&rdquo; Another pointed out, &ldquo;#TheRajasaab least ticket price ($25- â‚¹2248) &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; AVATAR-3 DOLBY VISION tck price ($20- â‚¹1798).&rdquo;
Another person posted a screenshot of the ticket price for Avatar at a theatre near them, pointing out the same and criticising the distributor, &ldquo;in my honest opinion anyone that is spending nearly two times the price to watch #TheRajaSaab than watching #AvatarFireAsh is just stupid. @PrathyangiraUS is basically calling all us Telugu movie fans street dogs who will watch anything at any price they s**t on our face with.&rdquo;An X user also questioned the pricing by posting a screenshot and writing, &ldquo;Would you rather watch Avatar 3 in IMAX 3D FDFS for $20? Or Raja Saab FDFS standard screen for $25?&rdquo; &ldquo;Considering movie's hype pricing should be reasonable but seeing such high rates (more than Kalki) is making confusion among many fans and trade,&rdquo; wrote another.
One frustrated X user even broke down how much they could spend $38 on and wrote, &ldquo;I am breaking down 38$.Avg 11 gallons of fuel in USA, one week grocery for single person, avg home insurance for person is 25$, avg health insurance for person is 50$ per month. @SKNonline you want to spend 38$ for maruthi film&rdquo; Another pointed out they could recharge their mobile and broadband in that cost.

\r\nDulquer, Ranna share their thoughts on 8 hours schedule. Dulqer Salmaan and Rana shared their thoughts on 8 hours work schedule in the film industry in the midst of growing clamour for the same.\r\nRana said &ldquo;This is not a job, it&rsquo;s a lifestyle. You either choose to be in it or not. Each film will govern and ask for something else. It&rsquo;s not a factory. It&rsquo;s not like we sit for eight hours and the best scene is going to come out. Unless the top brass involved understands that they are creating a story and are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen, it doesn&rsquo;t trickle down. It&rsquo;s hard to define it as an industry standard.&rdquo;\r\nDulquer said &ldquo;In Malayalam, you just keep going, and you don&rsquo;t know when you&rsquo;ll finish. But it would&rsquo;ve been a great, gruelling, hard day. When I did my first Telugu film (Mahanati in 2018), it was the first time in my acting career that by six I could go home. It was starkly different from shooting in Tamil, where second Sundays are off. I remember thinking that when I produce, I would do it differently. But there&rsquo;s not much you can do. Going extra hours on a day is cheaper than shooting an additional day.&rdquo;\r\n
