The much-awaited trailer of Prabhas starrer horror-comedy “The Raja Saab” dropped on September 29, 2025, and it is already setting social media on fire. Directed by Maruthi, the film promises a cocktail of chills, laughs, and star power that is bound to shake up the box office early next year.
Scheduled to release on January 9, 2026, this Telugu-origin film will also release in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, amplifying its pan-India appeal.
Haunted Mansion, Hidden Riches, and Horrific Laughs
The trailer unfolds inside a creepy, gothic mansion—once owned by a king who refuses to rest in peace, guarding his treasures from intruders.
- Prabhas: A cheerful, carefree lover boy whose world turns upside down inside the haunted palace.
- Nidhhi Agerwal: His love interest, caught between romance and restless spirits.
- Sanjay Dutt: The show-stealer, appearing as a menacing figure with supernatural powers, giving fans a terrifying glimpse of his rugged persona.
- Malavika Mohanan: Adds mystery and glamour to the spooky setting.
The VFX-heavy trailer balances ghoulish scares with goofy humour, making it hard to decide whether to scream or laugh. From comical banter with ghosts to spine-chilling sequences, “The Raja Saab” aims to redefine the horror-comedy space in Indian cinema.
A Stellar Ensemble for Maximum Madness
The supporting cast reads like a comedy powerhouse: Brahmanandam, Vennela Kishore, Saptagiri, Yogi Babu, VTV Ganesh—all lined up to tickle funny bones even as audiences hide behind their seats. Adding weight are seasoned actors like Boman Irani, Zarina Wahab, Samuthirakani, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, and Jisshu Sengupta.

Why The Trailer Works
This isn’t just another Prabhas film—it’s a make-or-break experiment. After the mixed response to his previous big-budget outings, fans are watching closely. The trailer shows Prabhas in a lighter, funnier role—a refreshing contrast to his usual action-heavy persona.
But the bigger question remains:
Is Prabhas the real ghost haunting the mansion, or is Sanjay Dutt the sinister soul at play?
Final Word
“The Raja Saab” is shaping up to be more than a film—it’s a cultural event. A king guarding his wealth, a superstar fighting phantoms, and Sanjay Dutt as a mystical villain? That’s the masala mix Indian audiences crave.
January 2026 is looking spooky already—Prabhas is back, but this time, he’s bringing ghosts along for the ride.
