‘The Raja Saab’ releases on January 9, reiterates Vishwa Prasad

Amidst ongoing speculation about a possible delay, producer TG Vishwa Prasad has reaffirmed that Prabhas’s much-awaited film “The Raja Saab” will release as scheduled on January 9, 2026. In an official statement, he clarified that there is no change in the release plans.

Over the past few days, rumors have circulated suggesting another postponement, mainly due to the temporary pause in promotional activities and the indefinite delay of the film’s first song, which was originally slated for release last month. Reports also claimed that the film’s visual effects work had fallen behind schedule.

Addressing these speculations, Vishwa Prasad, who is producing the film under the People Media Factory banner, urged fans to disregard such talk.

“In response to the ongoing speculation surrounding the release plans of Rebel Star Prabhas’ upcoming magnum opus The Raja Saab, the team wishes to clarify that all such rumours regarding a postponement from Sankranthi 2026 are entirely baseless. “The Raja Saab” will hit theatres worldwide on January 9, 2026, as officially announced. The post-production work is progressing at a brisk pace, maintaining the highest technical standards without any delay,” the statement read.

“The Raja Saab” is a horror comedy starring Prabhas in the titular role, with Sanjay Dutt appearing as a ghost. Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Nidhhi Agerwal play the female leads, while the film is directed by Maruthi.
