"The Raja Saab," starring Prabhas and directed by Maruthi, is nearing completion, with the makers revealing that 95% of the filming is already done. The team is now focused on shooting the remaining three songs and completing some patchwork to ensure the movie is ready for its theatrical release on December 5, 2025.
Initially slated for an April 10, 2025, release, "The Raja Saab" faced delays due to post-production challenges. However, the team is working diligently to deliver a high-quality film to audiences. The movie is being prepared for a pan-Indian release in five languages, aiming to reach a broad audience across the country.
A key highlight of the remaining production is the filming of three songs. One of these is said to be a special song featuring Prabhas alongside the film's three leading ladies: Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar. Music director S Thaman is crafting this track to be a visual and musical treat for fans, emphasizing Prabhas's return to the romantic-comedy genre after a long time. Director Maruthi is reportedly putting in extra effort to make this song memorable, ensuring a memorable experience for the audience. There were initial plans to remix a popular Hindi song, but the high cost of rights led the makers to commission Thaman for an original composition.
The simultaneous post-production work is underway to ensure timely delivery of the final copy. The makers are reportedly pleased with the content created by Maruthi and how Prabhas has been showcased in the film. Prabhas is expected to appear super stylish and aesthetic, fulfilling a long-standing demand from his fans.
"The Raja Saab" is a horror-comedy, a genre that Prabhas hasn't explored in quite some time, adding to the anticipation. The film revolves around a young man aiming to claim his ancestral property, an old cinema theatre named Raja Deluxe, to solve his financial troubles. However, his plans take a supernatural turn when he encounters eerie and mysterious forces linked to the property. Prabhas is rumored to be playing a dual role in the movie.
The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, adding another layer of intrigue to the project. Initial promotional material, including a motion poster and teaser released during the Pongal festival, generated significant buzz among fans, who have been eagerly requesting behind-the-scenes glimpses and updates. On June 16, 2025, the teaser was released, offering a thrilling glimpse into this supernatural entertainer.
With the film nearing completion and a confirmed release date, fans can anticipate a blend of horror and comedy, a stylish Prabhas, and captivating music by S Thaman.
