Much awaited, the Daaku Maharaaj, featuring Nandamuri Balakrishna (aka Balayya), hits the cinemas on January 12, 2025, just in time for the Sankranthi festivities. Directed by Bobby Kolli, the period action drama boasts an ensemble cast that includes the likes of Shraddha Srinath, Pragya Jaiswal, and Urvashi Rautela. Bollywood actor Bobby Deol makes his Telugu debut in the film, playing the role of the antagonist, Viraj Surve.
Produced by Sitara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinema. Balakrishna plays the title role of Daaku Maharaaj and is flanked by Nandini (played by Shraddha Srinath) and Kaveri (played by Pragya Jaiswal).
Strong Pre-Sales from The North American Circuit
Daaku Maharaaj has hit the no pre-sales tag on North America. Four days prior to the film’s release and the estimates are nearing around USD 250k, having sold 8000 plus tickets, with **600 shows booked so far, and that number is expected to climb further. If Balakrishna’s film picks up and rides the market well, the producers are gunning for the USD 500k mark on opening day. An impressive target! It’s going to be an action-packed Sankranthi.
It goes head-to-head against other major releases of the packed box office Sankranthi weekend Game Changer, Sankranthiki Vasthunam, and Fateh. With the trailer recently out, the film has also seen fans getting enthusiastic about it, which further raises their expectations.
Balayya 109th Film
This film will mark the 109th film in Nandamuri Balakrishna’s acting career. After the success of his previous film, Bhagavanth Kesari, Balakrishna’s fans are all excited to watch this new one.
High on star power and pre-release actions, Daaku Maharaaj seems all set to go for gold at the box office, leaving behind everything to the audience.
