The grand re-release of Mahesh Babu’s 15-year-old film Khaleja is finally here, and fans are super excited to experience the euphoria once again in theaters. Several theaters even held premiere shows last night, but they ended up disappointing many fans.
Those who attended the premieres were shocked and upset because the re-release team removed a song and a few scenes from the original version. This unexpected move led to massive disappointment and frustration among fans.
In Hyderabad, the situation turned chaotic in a few theaters. Arguments broke out with the theater management, and in some places, angry fans went a step further – throwing bottles at the screen. All this chaos was triggered by the way the re-release was handled.
Still, in many other areas, the response was quite positive. Fans enjoyed the premiere shows thoroughly, and today is expected to be a phenomenal celebration for Mahesh Babu fans. Theaters are gearing up for packed shows, and fans are ready to recreate some of the film’s iconic scenes as part of the festivities.
Directed by Trivikram and featuring Anushka Shetty as the heroine, Khaleja received a mixed response when it first released — but over time, it earned cult status. Now, with this re-release, the film is once again at the center of all the buzz — showing the kind of love and passion fans still have for it.
