\r\nPrabhas\' highly anticipated film \"The Raja Saab\" is reportedly set for a Sankranthi release. After a long gap, the pan-Indian actor is expected to release a film during the festive season, which could generate massive numbers at the box office. The film was initially announced for a December 5 release, but due to delays, the makers might have decided to shift the release date to Sankranthi 2026.\r\nThe Sankranthi release date could be a strategic move, considering the film\'s genre and target audience. With a mix of romance, horror, and comedy, \"The Raja Saab\" could appeal to a wide range of audiences during the festive season. However, the film will face stiff competition from other releases like Mega157, Anaganaga Oka Raju, Jana Nayagan, and RT75. If the rumors are true, Prabhas\' last film release on Sankranthi was Yogi in 2007, before that his blockbuster Varsham was released for Sankranthi in 2003 making this a significant comeback for the actor during the festival.\r\nThe film is directed by Maruthi and features Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar as the female leads. TG Vishwa Prasad is producing the film under the banner of People Media Factory, with Thaman composing the tunes. While the Sankranthi release date is yet to be officially confirmed, fans are eagerly waiting for the film\'s release. If the speculation about the January 9, 2026 release date is true, it could be a big hit for Prabhas.\r\nThe success of \"The Raja Saab\" will depend on various factors, including the film\'s quality, marketing, and competition. With a strong cast and crew, the film has the potential to perform well at the box office. However, the competition from other films during the Sankranthi season will be intense, and the makers will need to strategize their marketing and release plans carefully to maximize the film\'s potential.\r\n

\r\nDid Hiranyakashyapa put on back burner.&nbsp; For long Tollywood is abuzz with the project on Hiranyakashyapa. Preparations were made in full swing long time back.

The film based on Prahlada has important role for Hiranyakashyapa. Without Hiranyakashyapa, the story is incomplete. The makers designed the role quite well and it is difficult to do a full length film with Hiranyakashyapa in the lead role.\r\nThough there is difference between animation and real film, it is difficult to impress movie lovers once again who already watched the character in animation.
