Overview

• Latest reports from multiple outlets suggest the film is now targeting a January 9, 2026 Sankranthi release, although official confirmation is still pending.
• This would mark the third major postponement, following initial April and December release dates, as the production grapples with extensive visual effects and post-production demands.
• The new release window would pit The Raja Saab against high-profile festival films including Vijay’s Jana Nayagan and projects from Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna.
• The project represents Prabhas’s genre shift into horror comedy, built around a 41,256 sq ft set billed as India’s largest for the genre and backed by a reported ₹450 crore budget.
• Alongside Prabhas, the cast includes Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Ridhi Kumar and Sanjay Dutt as it aims for a broad pan-India appeal.
