With just hours to go for the much-anticipated premiere of Prabhas’ The raja Saab, fans in the Nizam region (Telangana) are growing increasingly frustrated over the delay in opening premiere show bookings. The uncertainty surrounding ticket sales has triggered widespread concern and disappointment among Prabhas’ loyal fan base.
Growing Anxiety Ahead of Premieres
While premiere bookings in certain regions have either opened or received clarity, Nizam theatres are yet to begin advance sales, leaving fans confused and anxious. social media platforms are flooded with posts from fans questioning the delay and urging exhibitors and authorities to resolve the issue immediately.
For prabhas fans, premiere shows are more than just early screenings—they are celebratory events, often planned well in advance. The delay has disrupted travel plans, fan shows, and coordinated celebrations that typically accompany a prabhas release.
The Core Issue
Trade sources suggest that the delay is linked to pending approvals related to ticket pricing and show permissions in Telangana. Unlike Andhra Pradesh, where premiere pricing and hikes have received official clearance, telangana is reportedly still awaiting final confirmation, directly impacting the opening of advance bookings.
This administrative lag has resulted in theatres holding back ticket sales to avoid last-minute changes or cancellations.
Fan Reactions Turn Vocal
Fans have expressed their disappointment respectfully but firmly, pointing out that repeated delays for big releases affect not just excitement but also fan trust and planning. Many argue that The raja Saab—which showcases prabhas in a fresh, entertaining avatar—deserves a smooth and well-coordinated release, especially given the massive anticipation.
Some fan groups have also highlighted that delays in Nizam could affect opening-day collections, as premiere buzz plays a crucial role in setting the tone for word-of-mouth and trade perception.
Trade Perspective
Industry analysts note that Nizam is one of the most crucial territories for telugu cinema, especially for pan-India stars like Prabhas. Any disruption in premiere bookings can have a ripple effect on:
Early box-office momentum
Media narratives around the opening
Fan-driven promotions
However, trade circles remain optimistic that once approvals are granted, bookings will open swiftly and shows will fill up within minutes.
Hope for a Last-Minute Resolution
Despite the frustration, fans remain hopeful that the issue will be resolved in time for the premieres. Many have urged authorities and exhibitors to act quickly, stressing that smooth execution benefits not just the star but the entire industry ecosystem.
As The raja Saab prepares to hit screens, all eyes are now on when Nizam premiere bookings will finally open—a decision that could restore fan excitement and set the stage for a grand launch.
