The much-anticipated teaser for Prabhas' upcoming movie, "The Raja Saab," is likely to be released by the end of May 2025, according to various reports circulating among fan pages and entertainment forums. While there has been no official confirmation from the production team, sources suggest that the teaser is ready, and an announcement may be imminent. Fans have been eagerly awaiting a glimpse of the film, and the expected teaser release is building excitement.
"The Raja Saab" is directed by Maruthi and produced by TG Vishwa Prasad under the People Media Factory banner. The film is positioned as a romantic horror-comedy, a relatively uncommon genre mix in mainstream Telugu cinema. The movie was initially slated for release on April 10, 2025, but it has been postponed due to pending post-production activities and scheduling issues, particularly concerning Prabhas' availability. The actor is reportedly on a break and is expected to resume work upon his return to Hyderabad.
The storyline is expected to blend horror, humor, and emotional drama, with music composed by S Thaman. The film is rumored to feature Prabhas in dual roles and marks Malavika Mohanan's debut in Telugu cinema. The cast also includes Nidhhi Agerwal and Riddhi Kumar in key roles. The plot is believed to revolve around a man who sets his sights on a family-owned property, hoping to turn a profit, only to discover that the estate holds unsettling secrets.
Industry insiders have estimated the film's budget to be between Rs 200–450 crore, reflecting its high production standards and visual ambitions. "The Raja Saab" is expected to feature extensive VFX work. There is also speculation that Nayanthara might make a special appearance in a dance sequence, although official confirmation is still awaited.
Director Maruthi addressed fan concerns about the release date during a temple visit, clarifying that the decision involves People Media Factory. He assured fans that only the "talkie part and songs" remain to be shot. One fan urged him to provide a clear update, and Maruthi explained that the makers are working towards announcing the release date once the CG output is verified.
Prabhas' fans have been eagerly anticipating updates on the movie. The release of the teaser is expected to provide direction for the film and potentially reveal a new release calendar. However, sources suggest that "The Raja Saab" is out of the release race for 2025, with a possible release during Sankranthi 2026. This decision was allegedly made due to the second half of 2025 being packed with other big films and financial constraints faced by People Media Factory.
Besides "The Raja Saab", Prabhas has several other high-profile projects lined up. He is currently filming a period drama tentatively titled "Fauji" with Hanu Raghavapudi. He will also appear in the sequel to Nag Ashwin's "Kalki 2898 AD," alongside Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan, and Sandeep Reddy Vanga's "Spirit".
