Prabhas' fans have a reason to rejoice as the release date for his highly anticipated horror-comedy, The Raja Saab, has been officially announced. The film is set to hit theaters worldwide on December 5, 2025. However, this release date sets the stage for a box office clash with Shahid Kapoor's Arjun Ustara, which is also slated for release on the same day.
The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi, has been generating significant buzz since its announcement. Prabhas will reportedly be seen in a dual role in this film. The movie boasts an ensemble cast including Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar. The film's music is being composed by Thaman S, with cinematography by Karthik Palani and editing by Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao.
The film's journey to the big screen has been somewhat delayed. Initially slated for release on April 10, 2025, the release was pushed back due to pending post-production work. Adding to the anticipation, the makers of The Raja Saab have announced that the film's teaser will be released on June 16, 2025, at 10:52 AM, offering a glimpse into the world of this romantic horror-comedy.
Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor's Arjun Ustara, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, is also gearing up for a December 5, 2025 release. This film is described as a gangster drama set in the 1990s. Arjun Ustara also boasts a strong cast, including Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar, and Randeep Hooda. According to reports, Vikrant Massey will also make a special appearance in the film. Arjun Ustara is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.
Shahid Kapoor has described Arjun Ustara as a blend of intense action and a heartfelt love story. Vishal Bhardwaj is known for his deep and artistic films such as Haider and Kaminey, and Arjun Ustara is expected to be his most commercial film.
The clash between The Raja Saab and Arjun Ustara is likely to create a buzz among fans and at the box office. While The Raja Saab promises a mix of romance, horror, and comedy, Arjun Ustara offers a gangster drama with action and romance. Both films have strong casts and are helmed by well-known directors, making this clash one to watch out for.
