Prabhas Returns with Horror Comedy Twist in The Raja Saab

The Raja Saab, starring Baahubali star Prabhas, releases on 9 January 2026 during Sankranti.

Director Maruthi presents the film as a horror comedy entertainer.

The story follows a young man chasing shortcuts to wealth.

He plans to sell his grandfather’s ancestral property for quick money.

His plan collapses when he discovers the house is haunted.

The spirit haunting the house turns out to be his own grandfather. The narrative asks whether he escapes the terrifying consequences.

Prabhas appears in a fresh avatar balancing fear, humor, and swagger.

The film features Malavika Mohanan, Nidhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar.

Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Zarina Wahab, and Samuthirakani play crucial roles.

Music adds energy through a remix of Bappi Lahiri’s iconic Nache Nache.

The dance number highlights Prabhas in a lively celebratory mood.

Trade expectations remain high for the film’s opening performance.

Crossing one hundred crore would mark another record for Prabhas.

It would become his fourth consecutive one hundred crore opening.

His previous films include Adipurush, Salaar, and Kalki 2898 AD.

Prabhas also works on Spirit, a gritty cop action drama.

The Raja Saab blends superstition, comedy, and star power.

The film aims to deliver festive thrills with an unusual genre mix.

Fans expect Prabhas to dominate the Sankranti box office once again.

All eyes watch whether horror comedy becomes his milestone.
