Prabhas Creates Box Office Collections – For the past five weeks, Ranveer Singh’s film ‘Dhurandhar’ had been enjoying an unchallenged reign at the box office. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film surprised everyone with its earnings and maintained its strong hold despite tough competition.
But as they say, every record is meant to be broken! And this time, the feat has been achieved by the ‘Pan-India’ superstar Prabhas. Prabhas’s latest film, ‘The Raja Saab’, has halted ‘Dhurandhar’s’ winning streak right after its release. Let’s take a look at the film’s earnings and the latest box office figures.

Prabhas’s New Avatar in Horror-Comedy
Prabhas is often seen in big action roles, but with ‘The Raja Saab’, he has ventured into the horror-comedy genre for the first time. There is tremendous excitement among fans regarding his return to the big screen after almost two years. The film has been released in Telugu, as well as in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.
‘Bonus’ Advantage in Tamil Nadu
Prabhas’s film’s path became even easier when Thalapathy Vijay’s film ‘Jana Nayakan’ was postponed. Because of this, ‘The Raja Saab’ got approximately 250 extra screens in Tamil Nadu. Prabhas seems to be directly benefiting from the lack of any major Tamil film releasing this Friday.

Will ‘Jana Nayakan’ pose a challenge?
Although Prabhas is currently at number one, there is suspense about how long he will hold this position. ‘Jana Nayakan’ has received its certificate from the CBFC, and there are rumors that the film might hit theaters by Pongal (Wednesday). If this happens, a major box office clash between Prabhas and Vijay will be witnessed during the Pongal festival.
