PAN India star Prabhas’ next theatrical release is The Raja Saab. The romantic horror comedy entertainer, directed by Maruthi, is slated for release on January 9, 2026, during the Sankranthi season. Unlike most Indian films, the makers have unveiled the trailer three months in advance, and it assures a mega entertainer.
While Kalki 2898 AD showcased the fun side of Prabhas partially, The Raja Saab completely taps into his comedy timing and entertainer persona. Going by the trailer, it looks like a perfect feast for fans, bringing back the vintage Darling of Telugu cinema. It’s definitely refreshing to see a captivating trailer packed with commercial ingredients after a series of serious action and violent films from Tollywood’s top stars.
Prabhas is also shown in an old get-up at the end, raising curiosity. Though the story isn’t revealed much, the trailer promises out-and-out entertainment, and it also has a good dosage of glamour, making it a perfect festival entertainer. Horror comedies are the flavor of the season, and if the execution is good, then The Raja Saab can be a huge money spinner.
Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Ridhhi Kumar play the female leads in this biggie. Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, and Zarina Wahab play significant roles. TG Vishwa Prasad produced this flick on a massive budget under People Media Factory. SS Thaman is the music composer.
