PAN-India star Prabhas’ next theatrical release is The Raja Saab. The romantic horror-comedy entertainer, directed by Maruthi, is slated for a grand release on January 9, 2026, during the Sankranthi season. After the pre-release event on Saturday, the makers have now unveiled the release trailer, and it looks highly fascinating.
Sanjay Dutt plays Prabhas’ grandfather, and after the former’s death, he transforms into an unbeatable evil force. His soul resides in a mansion, and Prabhas moves there to find more details about his grandfather. However, little does he know about the danger that surrounds him. Everyone who enters the mansion falls under Sanjay Dutt’s trance, showcasing the sheer power of his presence.
The bungalow inhabited by Sanjay Dutt’s spirit feels like a maze filled with wonders and unanswered questions. Prabhas, along with his friends, gets trapped there. What is the mystery behind Sanjay Dutt’s character? What experiences does the protagonist go through? And what happens in the end? The trailer raises curiosity with its many mysterious elements and definitely builds strong expectations.
The visuals and background score are very impressive in the new trailer. Especially Sanjay Dutt’s avatar, presented like a giant, has been superbly designed with impressive VFX. Prabhas’ old getup and his backstory connected to a royal family increase inquisitiveness.
Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar play the female leads in this biggie. Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, and Zarina Wahab appear in significant roles. TG Vishwa Prasad has produced the film on a massive budget under the People Media Factory banner, while SS Thaman is the music composer.
