‘The Raja Saab’ to offset Sankranthi 2026 films?

Prabhas’s “The Raja Saab” has already faced multiple delays due to extended filming schedules and pending visual effects work. After much speculation, the makers recently announced a new release date — December 5, 2025.

However, fresh reports from Bollywood media suggest another shift may be on the cards. The buzz is that Prabhas has agreed to postpone the film once again. This time at the request of Ranveer Singh, he is thinking to reschedule it. If true, “The Raja Saab” may now be moved to January 2026.

Ranveer Singh is reportedly banking on his next film “Durandhar,” and is keen to avoid a box office clash with a major star like Prabhas. Sources say he personally requested the rescheduling to ensure a clear window for his film’s release.

If “The Raja Saab does get pushed to January, it could shake up the Sankranthi 2026 lineup and impact the release plans of several Telugu films targeting that festive window.

Directed by Maruthi and produced by People Media Factory, “The Raja Saab” remains one of the most awaited films in Prabhas’s lineup. Whether this latest reshuffle materializes remains to be seen in the coming months.
