Prabhas' The Raja Saab Lands In Legal Trouble

Hyderabad, August 13 - Pan-India superstar Prabhas-fronted romantic horror comedy The Raja Saab has landed in legal trouble, over alleged contractual breaches. The film was already facing a delay, and now, the legal hurdle will further complicate things. ## Delhi-based Ivy Entertainment has filed a case in the Delhi High Court against co-producer People Media Factory (PMF). The production house claims it invested a staggering 218 crore for theatrical and non-theatrical rights, co-presenter credits, and guaranteed returns. ## According to reports, Ivy Entertainment alleged that PMF failed to fulfil several critical commitments, including completing and releasing the film within the agreed timeline, monthly production updates, disclosing how funds were being utilised, delivering agreed materials, and postponing the theatrical release without justification. ## The company has reportedly demanded either a full refund of 218 crores with 18% annual interest or control of the project to complete and release the film themselves to safeguard its substantial investment. The movie is reportedly being made on a 400 crore budget. ## Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab is scheduled to release on December 5, 2025, but reliable reports have confirmed that it will be postponed to January 9, 2026. The official confirmation, however, is not been made yet. ## Stay tuned...

Producer T. G. Vishwa Prasad Reveals Release Date Plans and The Possible Theatrical Runtime of Prabhas-fronted The Raja Saab

Hyderabad, August 6 - Pan-India superstar Prabhas-fronted romantic horror-comedy The Raja Saab is among the most-anticipated Indian movies. Directed by Maruthi, the movie is expected to debut in cinemas worldwide on January 9, 2026, after reports stating it wouldn't be able to meet its December 5, 2025, deadline. ## Prabhas is undoubtedly one of the most bankable Pan-India stars, who can do wonders at the box office if the film is good enough, and considering this, the makers are taking utmost care with the film, be it its release date or the possible length. ## During a recent interview, producer TG Vishwa Prasad revealed the team's current release plan. He said that they are planning to release the movie on January 9, 2026, during the Sankranthi festive weekend. He also mentioned that Bollywood buyers are insisting on sticking with the December 5, 2025, release. ## The producer added that a few songs and some patchwork are yet to be completed as they are expecting to wrap the film by October. Apart from the release date plans, TG Vishwa Prasad also hinted at what could be the final theatrical runtime of The Raja Saab.## He revealed that director Maruthi has shot raw footage of 4 hours and 30 minutes, and the editing team is working on chopping and editing it down to about 2 hours and 45 minutes. It can be said that the final runtime of The Raja Saab will be around 165 minutes, and it might get stretched to around 3 hours. ## The Raja Saab might get a sequel to it, but as confirmed by the producer, it won't be a direct continuation and will explore a different story set in a multiverse-like concept. However, that is something which is unlikely to come anytime soon, if it is with Prabhas only, as he has several films in the pipeline. ## Produced by People Media Factory and IVY Entertainment, the film's plot revolves around a young man who sets his eyes on his ancestral property to ease him out of a cash crunch. It stars Prabhas in the lead role, alongside Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan (in her Telugu film debut), and Riddhi Kumar. ## Stay tuned...

Prabhas' The Raja Saab Release Date Reportedly Postponed; Sets Up A Festive Clash With Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan

Hyderabad, July 31 - In a major development, Pan India superstar Prabhas-fronted much-awaited horror-comedy The Raja Saab is now reportedly eyeing a new release date. The latest reports suggest that the film, initially scheduled for December 5, 2025, has been postponed due to ongoing post-production work. ## Directed by Maruthi and produced by People Media Factory, the movie will now reportedly be hitting the big screens on January 9, 2026, setting up a mega festive clash with Thalapathy Vijay's political action drama Jana Nayagan, which is already locked for the same weekend during the Pongal/Sankranti holiday frame. ## The Raja Saab marks a unique blend of horror, romance, and mass commercial entertainment. With Prabhas stepping into a lighter, more humorous avatar after a string of high-octane action roles, the film has generated considerable curiosity. However, due to the heavy reliance on VFX, the post-production is taking time, which pushed the makers to consider a new release date. ## The movie was already in a huge clash if it had stuck to a December 5, 2025, release. There are Ranveer Singh's hugely anticipated Dhurandhar and Shahid Kapoor's Romeo, which are scheduled to hit theatres on the same date. While the clash might still affect, The Raja Saab is now relatively safe when it comes to the Hindi market, which has been a major contributor to Prabhas' films since Baahubali. ## The plot revolves around a young man, who sets his eyes on his ancestral property to ease him out of a cash crunch. It stars Prabhas, alongside Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan (in her Telugu film debut), Riddhi Kumar, Jisshu Sengupta, Boman Irani, Zarina Wahab, Brahmanandam, and Samuthirakani, in key roles. ## Stay tuned...
