KKN Gurugram Desk | Superstar Prabhas is all set to make a grand comeback with his much-awaited horror-comedy film ‘The Raja Saab‘, and now the release date is officially confirmed. After months of speculation and anticipation among fans, the film’s makers have revealed that The Raja Saab will hit theatres worldwide on December 5, 2025.

With a unique blend of romance, horror, and comedy — and Prabhas in a dual role — the movie promises to be a complete entertainer. Here’s everything we know about the film’s release, cast, teaser update, and how this could mark another milestone in Prabhas’ filmography.

The Raja Saab Release Date Confirmed: 5 December 2025

After multiple rumors and shifting schedules, the release date of The Raja Saab has finally been locked. The film will have a worldwide theatrical release on Friday, December 5, 2025. Sources close to the production confirm that post-production delays caused the original date to be postponed, but the team has now officially finalized the release window.

This announcement has come as a wave of relief and excitement for Prabhas fans, many of whom had been eagerly awaiting a formal confirmation. The film was always planned for a late 2025 release, and now the makers are going all-in for a massive theatrical launch.

Star Cast and Characters: Who’s in The Raja Saab?

Prabhas will headline the film in a double role, a character choice that has intrigued fans since the project was announced. Known for his versatility across action, romance, and fantasy genres, this marks Prabhas’ first full-fledged dive into horror-comedy, making The Raja Saab a significant addition to his career.

The film also features a strong ensemble cast:

• Nidhhi Agerwal

• Malavika Mohanan

• Riddhi Kumar

In a powerful villainous role, Sanjay Dutt will add depth and gravitas to the movie’s antagonist arc. His intense screen presence is expected to elevate the film’s horror elements.

Genre Mix: Horror, Romance, and Comedy Rolled into One

The Raja Saab is being marketed as a romantic horror-comedy, a relatively unexplored genre in Indian cinema — especially in the South. With supernatural elements, romantic plotlines, and comedic relief, the movie is targeting a pan-Indian audience, much like Prabhas’ earlier hits.

Fans are expecting a mix of suspense, laughs, and visual effects — a combination rarely seen in a single mainstream film. The dual-role angle will likely explore two different dimensions of the same storyline, heightening both drama and entertainment.

Teaser Release Expected Soon: June 16, 2025 (Tentative)

According to sources from the production team and ongoing discussions on social media, the official teaser of The Raja Saab is expected to drop on June 16, 2025, at 10:52 AM. While the production house has not issued a public confirmation, several trade insiders hint that marketing will intensify in the coming weeks, leading to a grand teaser and trailer launch.

Fans can expect:

• A first look at Prabhas in both his characters

• A sneak peek into the film’s horror backdrop

• Introduction of Sanjay Dutt’s villain role

Behind the Scenes: Direction, Music, and Production

While the director’s name is yet to be officially revealed, industry sources suggest that the filmmaker is someone well-versed in blending mass appeal with innovative storytelling. The film is backed by a high-budget production and is rumored to have a strong VFX and sound design team, crucial for a horror-comedy film.

The music score is expected to be composed by a leading South Indian music director, with the soundtrack likely to be released by October 2025. The movie will also feature dance numbers and romantic melodies — essential ingredients in a Prabhas starrer.

Comparison to Other Prabhas Films: What Makes The Raja Saab Different?

Prabhas is no stranger to pan-India success. After the historic success of Baahubali and the recent visual spectacle Adipurush, the actor is now exploring more experimental genres. What makes The Raja Saab stand out is:

• A lighter tone: Unlike the intense action-heavy films, this one is meant to entertain with humor and horror.

• Dual roles: Prabhas playing two characters opens possibilities for plot twists and emotional depth.

• Sanjay Dutt as antagonist: A fresh villain-hero pairing that hasn’t been explored before in Telugu or Hindi cinema.

• First horror-comedy attempt: For Prabhas, this is a genre debut.

Upcoming Projects: What’s Next for Prabhas?

Apart from The Raja Saab, Prabhas is also working on the epic Kannappa, a mythological drama directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh. The actor will portray Rudra, a divine ascetic warrior. His first-look poster created a buzz online, showing him in a saintly avatar holding a crescent-shaped weapon.

Kannappa will feature an all-star cast including:

• Akshay Kumar

• Mohanlal

• Kajal Aggarwal

The film is currently under production and will likely release in 2026.

Market Expectations: Will The Raja Saab Break Box Office Records?

Given the genre, cast, and Prabhas’ fanbase, The Raja Saab is expected to be a major box office draw. Trade experts predict:

• ₹100+ crore opening weekend globally

• Strong pre-release business in digital, satellite, and overseas rights

• Family audience appeal due to its horror-comedy tone

With the right promotions and strategic regional releases (Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam), the film could follow in the footsteps of Jathi Ratnalu, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and other successful horror-comedies.

As the makers gear up for a global theatrical release on December 5, 2025, The Raja Saab positions itself as one of the most awaited Indian films of the year. With a star like Prabhas leading the charge and a rare genre blend, the movie has all the makings of a commercial blockbuster.
