Hyderabad: Ahead of the film’s release on January 9, ticket prices of the Prabhas-starrer fantasy horror-comedy ‘The Raja Saab’ have been hiked.
Ticket prices for premiere shows of the film were capped at Rs 1000, while prices of regular shows, starting Friday, have been hiked by Rs 150, as per the latest government directive.
Prices in single-screen theatres have been capped at Rs 297, whereas in multiplexes prices have been set at Rs 377 per seat for the first ten days of the film’s run.
‘The Raja Saab’ team has been granted permission to screen up to five shows per day during this time.
Apart from Prabhas, the film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Zarina Wahab, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar in key roles.
Directed by Maruthi and produced by TG Vishwa Prasad under People Media Factory, the film will be released worldwide in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Sharing his experience of working on the film, Prabhas said, “The three years of stress and responsibility of RajaSaab brought tears to Maruthi garu’s eyes. When I first met him, I told him that films were becoming too action-oriented and that we should give audiences a proper entertainer. That is how this horror-comedy took shape.”
“Vishwa Prasad garu kept believing in Maruthi garu’s script and supported it throughout. When I heard the climax, I became a fan of Maruthi garu’s writing. I honestly wondered whether he wrote it with a pen or a machine gun. Such a climax hasn’t come even in horror-comedy films. You must watch it and tell me. After 15 years, Maruthi is giving full Darling entertainment. The film is arriving this Sankranti. All Sankranti films should do well, and along with them, The RajaSaab should also become a blockbuster,” he added.
