film has been making waves. Report is suggesting a delay in the theatrical release confirmation. Putting all the rumours to rest, the film’s producer has finally addressed the buzz and provided the clarity.
The 123 Telugu mentioned that in the recent interview producer TG Vishwa Prasad revealed the team’s current release plan. He said they are planning to release the movie on January 9, 2026, to take advantage of the Sankranthi season, adding that it was a request from people involved in the film’s business. He also mentioned that Bollywood buyers are insisting on sticking with the December 5, 2025 release. A few songs and some patchwork are yet to be completed, the producer added.

Earlier, 123 Telugu reported that the big-ticket entertainer might be postponed once again. The Raja Saab will now open in cinemas during Sankranthi 2026, on January 9, 2026. However, no official confirmation has still made in this regard. The movie was originally supposed to hit theatres in April 2025 but got delayed, sparking rumours that the makers were eyeing a festive release instead. On June 3, the makers officially locked in the new release date, December 5. But looks like it will once again get postponed. The film is a horror comedy that tells the story of a carefree young man who attempts to make a quick fortune by flipping his ancestral mansion—only to discover a terrifying secret lurking within.
Recently, Prabhas shared the first regal look of Sanjay Dutt. “Wishing the ever-inspiring Sanjay Dutt sir a very happy birthday! Grateful to share the screen with you in #TheRajaSaab.” In no time, it went viral among fans. Joining Prabhas in this supernatural entertainer are Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Ridhi Kumar, who play key roles.
The Raja Saab is touted to be a horror-comedy, marking a genre break for Prabhas after having featured in action or fantasy dramas in the past few years. The film features a Haveli that’s unlike anything seen before in Indian cinema. This grand set, spanning 41,256 sq ft, is officially the largest horror set ever constructed in India.
The film is also expected to make a big splash in the Hindi market. However, it won’t have the date all to itself as in Bollywood, it’s heading for a box office face-off with Vishal Bhardwaj’s upcoming film starring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, which is also set to release on the same day.
