Prabhas’s Horror Thriller ‘The Raja Saab’ Sets Release Date, Pre-Release Event Planned

Hyderabad, [Date – today’s date] – Fans of Telugu superstar Prabhas can mark their calendars! The highly anticipated horror-thriller, “The Raja Saab,” directed by Maruthi, is officially set to hit theaters on January 9th. The film, starring Prabhas alongside Nidhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, and Riddhi Kumar, with Sanjay Dutt in a pivotal role, promises to be a Sankranti treat for audiences.

Production company People Media Factory has announced that a grand pre-release event will be held on December 27th at Khaitlapur Grounds in Hyderabad. This event is expected to draw a large crowd of Prabhas fans eager to get a sneak peek at the movie.

“The Raja Saab” has already generated considerable buzz due to its unique combination of horror and comedy, as well as the pairing of Prabhas with director Maruthi, known for his shorter, tighter films. Although initially scheduled for a December release, the film’s release was pushed to January 9th due to post-production requirements.

One point of interest is the film’s runtime, reportedly exceeding three hours, a trend seen in recent Prabhas releases. It remains to be seen how Maruthi’s directorial style will influence the pacing of this longer format. Audiences are eager to see if the combination of Prabhas’s star power and Maruthi’s direction will deliver a successful horror-comedy.
