Well, pop culture fanatics, get ready for a little plot twist in the saga of Prabhas’s next big flick, “The Raja Saab.” We were all penciling in December 5, 2025, for director Maruthi’s vision to hit the big screen. But hold the phone, because it looks like we’re now looking at an early 2026 release. This juicy little tidbit was officially confirmed by none other than the producer of the upcoming film “Mirai.”
The unexpected announcement came during the trailer launch for Teja Sajja’s latest, “Mirai.” Everyone gathered for that event probably didn’t expect to hear news about another highly anticipated movie. But producer Vishwa Prasad, who was there, decided to drop a major hint about the new release date for Prabhas’s much-talked-about horror-comedy, “The Raja Saab.” Talk about a surprise reveal!
So, mark your calendars, because “The Raja Saab” is now slated for a grand theatrical release on January 9, 2026. This timing is fantastic, as it places the film right in the heart of the festive Sankranti season. Producer T.G. Vishwa Prasad confirmed this exciting date at the “Mirai” trailer event. He is part of the production team for “The Raja Saab,” working alongside Vivek Kuchibhotla and Ishan Saxena.

Let’s dive into what we know about “The Raja Saab.” Director Maruthi is leading this big-budget horror-comedy project. The cast features some exciting names, with Malavika Mohanan, Nidhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar stepping into the roles of the leading ladies.
