The film also received major relief when it comes to ticket pricing. The Telangana High Court overturned an earlier order that restrained any increase in ticket prices and left the matter of ticket price enhancement to the discretion of the state government. The court allowed this stating that The Raja Saab is a low-budget film and such steps are mainly taken for big-budget films like Pushpa 2, Game Changer, OG and Akhanda 2.
