Mahesh Babu’s Khaleja set for massive re-release
Khaleja is ready to return where it always belonged the big screen.
By: Tupaki Desk | 12 May 2025 3:13 PM ISTThere are movies that are like time bombs. After years of silent ticking, they suddenly burst into love. One such movie is Khaleja, starring Mahesh Babu. The Trivikram Srinivas directed film, which was released in 2010 to a lackluster reception at the box office and poor reviews, gradually became a cult classic thanks to numerous TV shows and online viewings.
Now, Khaleja is ready to return where it always belonged the big screen. With the trend of successful re-releases in Tollywood growing stronger, especially after Murari and Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, fans were hoping Khaleja would get its moment too. That moment is now official. The 4K restored version will release on May 30, much to the joy of Mahesh Babu admirers who have long waited to watch it in theatres again.
Interestingly, the timing could not be better. With big releases like Kingdom and Harihara Veeramallu being postponed, Khaleja finds itself in a slot with minimal box office competition. The excitement really intensifies when you consider the sentimental significance of superstar Krishna, the father of Mahesh Babu, and his impending birthday.
There is more to this reissue than nostalgia. It is about a movie earning a place in the hearts of both new and devoted viewers. Expectations are no longer about success or failure when the countdown gets underway. It is all about celebrating this moment.
