The Raja Saab is Prabhas' new film which was supposed to hit the screens on December 5, 2025. But sadly, the film has been postponed due to the incompletion of the VFX work and will hit the screens on January 9, 2026.
The Raja Saab gets bigger and better
Meanwhile, the makers are planning to release the first single soon and we have come to know that happening Indian rapper Hanumankind will croon the first single for Prabhas in the film.
One of the sources close to the unit reveals to us that the rapper has been brought on board for a song that will be Prabhas' intro number in the film. The source goes on to add that the song has already been recorded by music director Thaman and will be shot soon in Hyderabad.
Maruthi is the director of The Raja Saab and he is not leaving any stone unturned to make the film a solid hit at the box office. That is the reason he has roped in Hanumankind for the film.
Prabhas will be seen in dual roles in the film as per the news. One will showcase him in a young avatar and when the film gets back into the flashback mode, the older Prabhas will be revealed. Nidhhi Agerwal plays the female lead in this film which also marks the Telugu debut of Malavika Mohanan.
Prabhas embraces horror comedy for the first time
The Raja Saab has been shot mostly on sets, and each set has been laid out at close to 3 crore. For the first time in his career, Prabhas will be seen in a horror comedy and this is a big risk as he is known for his action-packed image in Indian cinema.
But he wants to come out of the same old fight routine and that is the reason he has chosen Maruthi, the comedy specialist, to direct the film. Well, the addition of Hanumankind has surely added a lot of buzz to the film and we need to see how this song turns out.
