Producer TG Vishwa Prasad Confirms Film Will Release On Time

In November, rumours spread that the release of The RajaSaab had been postponed after Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 was delayed due to financial and legal issues. However, producer TG Vishwa Prasad quickly addressed the rumours and confirmed that the Prabhas starrer will release as scheduled.

Taking to X, Prasad wrote, “It is unfortunate to see movies being stopped just before release and the impact it has on various others in the industry. Artists of the movie, small movie producers waiting to release their movies timing it with big movies. The issue with the release of the Akhanda 2 movie has deeply disturbed me. There have been many speculations around Rajasaab and its release. It is deeply unfortunate that a last-minute attempt was made to disrupt a film’s release. Such actions deserve strong condemnation, cinema deserves integrity, not interference.”

“These disruptions impact thousands of livelihoods across exhibitors, distributors, producers, technicians, and the entire support ecosystem. It is critical that clear legal guidelines are framed to prevent such last-minute disruptions by third parties in the future. The affected stakeholders should also consider appropriate legal action against such irresponsible attempts to derail releases, so that deterrence is established for the future,” TG Vishwa Prasad added.

The producer shared, “On Rajasaab, all raised investments are fully cleared through internal funds, and the remaining interest will be settled shortly, well before business opens. Looking forward to the grand release of Akhanda 2, all remaining December releases, Rajasaab, Mana Sankara Vara Prasad, Bhartha Mahashayaku Vignapthi, Anaganaga Oka Raju, Nari Nari Naduma Murari , Jana Nayagan, Para Sakthi and any other Sankranthi releases with glorifying success.”
