Mahesh Babu – The Undisputed Re-Release King of APTG

In an era where re-releases have become a celebration of stardom, one name continues to stand tall — Mahesh Babu. While several top stars have seen their classics return to the big screen, it’s Mahesh Babu who’s truly ruling the re-release game where it matters most — the box office. Despite having only 5 special/re-release shows in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Mahesh Babu has delivered a 100% success rate — with all 5 films grossing 1 Cr+. That’s an unmatched feat. While others might boast higher re-release numbers, their success ratios pale in comparison:

Prabhas: 9 re-releases, 0 with 1Cr gross Pawan Kalyan: 8 re-releases, 3 hits

Ram Charan: 3 re-releases, 1 success

Allu Arjun: 1 re-release, 1 hit

What sets Mahesh apart is not just the consistency but the sheer pull of his brand even in re-runs. Fans throng theatres with the same energy as they would for a first-day-first-show of a new release. The numbers speak for themselves — no one else comes close in terms of strike rate. It’s clear: Mahesh Babu doesn’t need quantity to dominate — he makes quality count. With a perfect 5/5 re-release record, he’s not just a superstar of new-age cinema but also the Re-release King of Telugu cinema.
