Khaleja Cult Status Leads to Record-Breaking Re-Release Advance Bookings

The 2010 film Khaleja, starring Mahesh Babu and directed by Trivikram Srinivas, is set for a re-release on May 30, coinciding with the birthday of Superstar Krishna, Mahesh Babu's father. Despite being a big disaster during its initial release, the film attained a cult status in later years for its story, direction, and Mahesh Babu's performance. 

The advance bookings for the film's re-release have opened to a strong response, with the film crossing over ₹1 crore in bookings before night. On BookMyShow, Khaleja is selling over 13,000 tickets per hour, shattering the previous record held by Gabbar Singh with 5k tickets per hour. 

The film's re-release has generated significant anticipation among audiences, with strong bookings expected for the entire weekend. Khaleja's cult status and the nostalgia factor are likely to contribute to its success. The film's re-release has all the chances of beating the collections of Murari's re-release and may become the first double-digit grosser in the re-release category.

The film's technical aspects, including Mani Sharma's music and the cinematography, are also noteworthy. The film's female lead, Anushka Shetty, and antagonist Prakash Raj, have also delivered memorable performances. As the film prepares to hit theaters again, fans are eagerly waiting to relive the experience. With its record-breaking advance bookings, Khaleja's re-release is shaping up to be a major event in the film industry.
