The Raja Saab, the next release for pan-Indian star Prabhas, is back in the headlines. Over the past few days, rumours have been circulating on social media claiming that the film's release has been postponed from January 6, 2026. Debunking these rumours, the production banner People Media Factory issued an official note confirming that the film remains on track for a grand theatrical release on January 9, 2026, as a Sankranthi special.
In addition, the team stated that VFX and other post-production works are progressing at a brisk pace. They also confirmed that extensive release plans are being prepared across all languages, including IMAX and other premium formats, to ensure audiences enjoy a spectacular big-screen experience. The makers further revealed that the first copy of the film will be ready by December 25, 2025, and a grand pre-release event will be held in the U.S. in December.
The film features Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar as the leading ladies opposite Prabhas, with Sanjay Dutt and several others in key roles. Thaman S is composing the music for the biggie. The Raja Saab is written and directed by Maruthi and produced by People Media Factory and IVY Entertainment.
The Raja Saab is poised to elevate the festive spirit of Sankranthi to the next level. Director Maruthi is crafting the film as one of Tollywood's most prestigious projects, while producer T G Vishwa Prasad is mounting it on a grand scale with uncompromised production values.
With the official clarification, fans can now look forward to the film's release on January 9, 2026, without any further delays. The team is confident about the content that Maruthi and his crew are delivering, and the film is expected to be a grand success.
