Hyderabad, India | December 27, 2025
South Indian superstar Prabhas’ upcoming film ‘The Raja Saab’ has been generating steady buzz for months. Originally slated for a December 5 release, the much-awaited film is now officially scheduled to hit theaters on January 9, 2026, raising anticipation among fans.
Adding fresh momentum to the film’s promotions, the makers have unveiled Malavika Mohanan’s first-look poster, further intensifying excitement around the project.
In the newly released poster, Malavika Mohanan is introduced as Bhairavi. She is seen wearing a striking black saree, paired with black sunglasses and a matching handbag. Her look is bold, stylish, and confident, reflecting a strong screen presence with undeniable swagger. Sharing the poster, the makers captioned it with “Bhairavi” followed by fire emojis and the line, “Picture abhi baaki hai, mere dost,” hinting at more surprises ahead.
Written and directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab features an ensemble cast including Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar in pivotal roles. The film is set for a pan-India release in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Ahead of its theatrical release, the makers have intensified promotional efforts to build momentum. Compared to the usual pre-release frenzy surrounding Prabhas’ films, the buzz has been relatively muted so far. To counter this, the production team is rolling out regular updates to keep the film in the spotlight.
The Raja Saab is a horror-comedy, described by the makers as one of the biggest horror-comedy films ever made in Indian cinema, combining scale, humor, and supernatural elements on a grand canvas.
