Reason Behind Prabhas Decision Of Pay Cut For Raja Saab

Pan-India star Prabhas is set to entertain audiences with his upcoming film The Raja Saab, a horror-comedy slated for theatrical release on December 5, 2025. Directed by Maruthi and produced by People Media Factory, the film promises a fresh take with a blend of romance, comedy, and horror — a significant departure from Prabhas's typical action-packed and mythological roles. The film features an impressive ensemble cast including Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Ridhi Kumar.

Prabhas has reportedly reduced his usual fee of ₹150 crore to ₹100 crore for The Raja Saab — marking a rare ₹50 crore pay cut. Industry insiders believe this move could be linked to the box office failure of Adipurush, which was also backed by the same production house. Despite the massive pre-release buzz, Adipurush struggled to meet expectations. However, Prabhas has proven his box office prowess with recent hits like Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire and Kalki 2898 AD.

The Raja Saab is expected to have a wide reach, with a multi-language release in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. The film's music is composed by Thaman S, while Karthik Palani handles the cinematography. The first official teaser is set to drop on June 16, further building excitement for what could be a genre-defining entry in Prabhas's career. With its unique blend of genres and talented cast, The Raja Saab promises to be an exciting addition to Prabhas's filmography.

As Prabhas continues to experiment with new genres and roles, The Raja Saab is eagerly anticipated by fans and critics alike. With its promising premise and talented cast, The Raja Saab is set to be a major release in the upcoming months which is slated to release on 5th December.
