Prabhas fans in North America have reason to celebrate as advance bookings for The RajaSaab have crossed $141,000 in US premieres. Directed by Maruthi, the film is set for a worldwide release on January 9, 2026, and has already generated buzz despite limited promotions. With strong support from Telugu audiences, the movie is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about Indian releases in early 2026.
The advance booking numbers show that The RajaSaab has collected $146,000 across North America from 973 shows and 4,902 tickets. California leads the chart with $18,787, followed closely by Texas at $17,264. Most of these screenings are in Telugu, with major chains like Cinemark and Regal hosting the premieres. The figures reflect steady growth, even though the daily jumps are modest at around $5,000.
Prabhas supporters have welcomed the progress, pointing out that the film is achieving these numbers without heavy marketing campaigns. They believe the actor’s star power and loyal fan base are enough to drive audiences to theaters. Social media has been filled with posts celebrating the milestone, with fans sharing booking screenshots and urging others to join in.
At the same time, rival fans have used the opportunity to mock the pace of bookings. Comparisons have been drawn to Thalapathy Vijay’s JanaNayagan, which reportedly saw faster daily increases. This has sparked debates online, with supporters of both stars defending their favorites and highlighting different factors such as release timing, promotions, and regional appeal.
For Prabhas, The RajaSaab is an important release. After mixed responses to some of his recent films, this project is expected to reconnect him with audiences who admire his larger-than-life screen presence. The film also features Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar in key roles, with music composed by Thaman S. The combination of a popular cast and a festive release date has raised expectations.
As the release date approaches, trade analysts will be watching closely to see if bookings accelerate. With nearly three weeks left, the numbers could rise significantly, especially if promotions intensify. For now, crossing $141K in advance sales has given The RajaSaab a solid start in the US market, setting the stage for its global premiere.
