By: Tupaki Desk | 8 Jan 2026 10:59 AM ISTIt is already known that multiple films are preparing for release this Sankranti season as many of them are looking to make the most of the festival season.Recent trade reports have revealed the North America break even targets for several upcoming Telugu films, highlighting the rising stakes for overseas theatrical business.With the United States and Canada continuing to be a crucial market, these figures reflect the expectations placed on films to recover distributor investments and turn profitable.
Among the big titles, The Raja Saab carries the highest pressure. The film reportedly needs around 10 million dollars from overseas markets to break even, with nearly seven point five million dollars expected to come from North America alone.
This clearly shows the strong confidence in the film’s star power and scale, but also underlines the risk involved if audience response does not match expectations.On a relatively moderate scale, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is said to have a North America break even target of about 3.5 million dollars. This places it in the mid range category, where content and word of mouth will play a decisive role. Anaganaga Oka Raju is positioned slightly lower, with a target close to 1.8 million dollars, indicating a controlled budget and realistic overseas expectations.
At the lower end, Nari Nari Naduma Murari needs around 700K dollars in North America to reach break even. Overall, these numbers reflect how carefully overseas business is being planned, with distributors closely tracking audience trends and market potential before locking deals.
