Fans are very excited about Prabhas' upcoming film The Raja Saab. The film is a romantic horror comedy directed by Maruthi Dasari. Along with Prabhas, the film stars Malavika Mohanan, Nidhi Agarwal and Riddhi Kumar in lead roles. The film will be released in Telugu as well as Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam languages. However, disappointing news for fans is that the film's release date is changing frequently. Let us know about the release date of this film and the latest updates related to it.
Initial release date and changes
The release date of The Raja Saab was initially set for April 10, 2025. This date was announced last year in July 2024 with the first glimpses of the film. At that time there was a wave of excitement among the fans as Prabhas' stylish avatar and the unique horror-comedy genre of the film were attracting the audience. However, in March 2025, news came that the release has been postponed due to post-production work and heavy VFX.
After this, some reports claimed that the film could be released on July 18, 2025. But due to a small injury to Prabhas and delay in completing the rest of the shooting, this date was also postponed. Then in October 2025, there was talk of release for the Dussehra season, but now, according to the latest information, The Raja Saab will hit the theaters on 5 December 2025. It was officially announced by the makers of the film on 3 June 2025 with a poster showing Prabhas's powerful look.
Why is it getting delayed?
Many reasons have come to light for the delay in the release of the film. The first reason is its heavy VFX work. The Raja Saab is a horror-comedy film in which graphics and visual effects play a big role. Director Maruthi wants to present this film with perfection so that it can impress the audience like Prabhas' previous pan-India films like Baahubali and Kalki 2898 AD.
The other reason is Prabhas' busy schedule and his minor injury due to which some part of the shooting is halted. Apart from this, the producer People Media Factory is facing some financial problems which also delayed the production. Some reports also stated that many big films like Vishwambhara Mirai and Akhand 2 are releasing in the second half of 2025 due to which the makers chose December 2025 to avoid a box office clash.
Teaser and Promotions
The first glimpse of the film was released on 29 July 2024 in which Prabhas was shown entering the college on a bike. His look in burgundy suit and black glasses was well liked by the fans. After this, another poster was released on 3 June 2025 confirming the new release date of the film as 5 December 2025. It was also told that the teaser of the film will be released on 16 June 2025 at 10:52 am.
Fans are eagerly waiting for this teaser as it will give the first glimpse of the story of the film and its horror-comedy mix. According to some rumors, Nayanthara may be seen in a special dance number in the film, although its official confirmation is yet to be done.
Story and Cast
The story of The Raja Saab revolves around a young man who is struggling with the financial crisis and decides to sell his ancestral property. But there are some secrets hidden in this property which makes the story exciting. Prabhas will be seen in a double role in this film while this is Malavika Mohanan's debut in Telugu cinema. Actors like Sanjay Dutt, Yoni Babu and Anupam Kher are also in important roles. The music of the film is given by Thaman S while cinematography is handled by Karthik Palani and editing by Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao.
What's the next step?
Although the release date of 5 December 2025 has been announced, some reports also claim that if post-production takes more time, the film may release in the Sankranti season of 2026. The makers are focused on making this film a great cinematic experience and they want to avoid any kind of haste.
Talking about Prabhas' other projects, he is also working in Hanu Raghavapudi's Fauji and Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit. Also, preparations are underway for the sequel of Kalki 2898 AD.
Conclusion
The Raja Saab is one Prabhas film that promises to bring a unique experience to his fans. This mix of horror comedy and romance has the potential to pull the audience to the theaters. Although the delay in the release date has made the fans a bit impatient, the makers claim that this wait will be really worth it. The teaser releasing on June 16, 2025 and the grand release of the film in theaters on December 5, 2025 will take the excitement of the fans to new heights.
