Despite largely negative reviews, 'The Raja Saab' is registering strong Day 1 ticket bookings, once again underlining Prabhas’s star power.
The opening day collections are expected to be massive. The film has also crossed $1.5 million in North America.
However, the big question now is whether the second part will materialise.
The Raja Saab ends with the introduction of Prabhas’s second character, revealed in a Joker-like avatar. The makers also announced the title of the sequel as “The Raja Saab Circus 1935.”
The film hints that the second part will be a period drama, focusing on this character, who is shown as the father of Raja Saab.
While the setup clearly teases a sequel, its realisation depends on multiple factors. Prabhas has a packed lineup ahead.
He first needs to complete the shoot of “Spirit” and “Fauji,” followed by Prashanth Neel’s “Salaar 2” and “Kalki 2.”
Whether “The Raja Saab Circus 1935” moves forward or remains just a tease is something only time will reveal.
