Ever since Balakrishna's Akhanda 2 release got postponed indefinitely due to financial issues and legal problems, speculation increased over Prabhas' The Raja Saab release which was scheduled for 9 Jan 2026 release.
In the midst of all this, producer TG.Vishwa Prasad cleared air on this issue. He said “It is unfortunate to see movies being stopped just before release and the impact it has on various others in the industry. Artists of the movie, small movie producers waiting to release their films by timing them with big movies… The issue with the release of Akhanda 2 has deeply disturbed me.”
He added “There have been many speculations around Rajasaab and its release. Unfortunately, a last-minute attempt was made to disrupt a film’s release. On Rajasaab, all raised investments are fully cleared through internal funds, and the remaining interest will be settled shortly, well before business opens. Looking forward to the grand release of Akhanda 2, all remaining December releases, Rajasaab, Mana Sankara Vara Prasad, Bhartha Mahashayaku Vignapthi, Anaganaga Oka Raju, Nari Nari Naduma Murari, Jana Nayagan, Para Sakthi, and any other Sankranti releases with glorifying success.”
The Raja Saab stars Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar and Nidhii Agerwal as female leads while Sanjay Dutt is playing an important role. Thaman is the music director for the film which is helmed by Maruthi.
