It is widely known that the trend of re-releases has been a constant thing in the Telugu film industry for a few years. Recently, Mahesh Babu’s Murari, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Indra, and Pawan Kalyan’s Gabbar Singh were celebrated by the fans on the birthdays of their favorite stars.
Mahesh Babu’s fans are the most active fanbases in this re-release trend, and they are already planning to release Khaleja soon. They are confident that the film’s content will suit the taste of this generation, and it will achieve great success in its re-release. Khaleja was a disaster at the time of its initial release, 2010, but the fans say that the film’s content was way ahead of time and it will work now.
Though Khaleja faced rejection during its theatrical release, the film found a good reception after its TV premiere and gained a section of the fanbase over the years. However, for a film to work in re-release, the excitement should be the same for fans and other general audiences as well. Til now, films that scored success in re-releases had good songs and repeat value, which added to the intrigue when they arrived once again at the theaters. Khaleja has a decent album, but it is not that great to bring audiences to the theaters just with its songs. Also, some may find the concept of a hero saving a village too routine, as there are many films released with the same concept in the past decade. However, Mahesh fans are very confident about the success of Khaleja’s re-release. Let us wait and watch whether the film can live up to their expectations.
