The Raja Saab Producer Breaks Silence On Delay In Release

In a conversation with NDTV, Prasad said, "I can name a few people who really put us in trouble. I’ve already named one for Karthikeya 2, and another for The Raja Saab, who was really in extortion mode. He made us delay our movie because he didn’t do any of the work until October 2024. We were supposed to come in April 2025." Blaming it on the VFX supervisor, Vishwa added, "He didn’t work on a single shot and just kept everything with him, taking a monthly fee for his entourage and team. He threatened the director that he would quit if he said something. And this person has a habit of doing this. He was recently kicked out of SS Rajamouli’s film. Since he got busy with Pushpa 2, he didn’t do any of our work. Someday, I’ll show him what the fee is for his extortion."

More About The Raja Saab

After much anticipation, the makers finally unveiled the trailer of The Raja Saab, offering audiences a peek into its horror fantasy universe. It begins with Prabhas in a hypnotist’s office, as the classic Bappi Lahiri–Usha Uthup track Koi Yahan Nache Nache plays in the background. From there, the narrative unfolds into a quirky blend of romance, comedy, and supernatural thrills—featuring spooky mansions, strange creatures, and offbeat moments.The glimpse further showcases Sanjay Dutt in a mysterious role, introduced by Boman Irani as an “exorcist, psychiatrist, and hypnotist.” Prabhas, gearing up to face him, even drops a humorous Star Wars nod. The trailer closes on a darker note, revealing Prabhas in a striking older look as his own grandfather, alongside veteran actress Zarina Wahab, who plays his grandmother. Directed and written by Maruthi, The Raja Saab is produced by People Media Factory and IVY Entertainment. The film features an ensemble cast including Prabhas in dual roles, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, and Boman Irani, and is slated to hit theatres worldwide on 9th January 2025, releasing in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
