Prabhas’s upcoming film The Raja Saab has received an unexpected boost ahead of its release.
The film is now set to enjoy a massive opening day, with no direct competition across key markets.
Initially, The Raja Saab was expected to face stiff competition from Vijay’s Jana Nayagan, especially in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
However, Vijay’s film ran into censor-related issues, with the Madras High Court scheduled to deliver its verdict on January 9 morning.
With the uncertainty surrounding the release, the makers of Jana Nayagan were left with no option but to postpone the film.
As a result, The Raja Saab now stands as the sole major release across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka.
This development ensures maximum screen allocation and higher show counts for Prabhas’s film in these regions, significantly boosting its first-day box office prospects.
The delay of Jana Nayagan has thus turned into a major and unexpected advantage for The Raja Saab.
