Prabhas' 'The Raja Saab' Faces Potential Sankranti 2026 Release Delay

As of July 2025, the highly anticipated Prabhas-starrer 'The Raja Saab' is facing yet another release delay. The film, which was earlier scheduled to hit theaters in December, is now speculated to be postponed until the Sankranti 2026 window, releasing on January 9, 2026.

This change in release plans is likely to intensify the box office competition, as 'The Raja Saab' is now expected to clash with several other big-ticket films during the Sankranti season. Among the movies slated for the same period are Thalapathy Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan' and the Chiranjeevi-Nayanthara starrer 'Mega157'.

'The Raja Saab' marks a departure from Prabhas' recent action-heavy or high-concept films, as the plot revolves around a young man trying to reclaim his ancestral property to overcome financial difficulties. The film also features supernatural elements, comedy, and a royal legacy, as hinted in the trailer. The ensemble cast includes Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, and Riddhi Kumar.

Despite the delay, fans remain eager to see Prabhas in this unique role, which promises to showcase the actor's versatility. As the Sankranti 2026 release date approaches, the anticipation for 'The Raja Saab' and the impending box office clash is sure to intensify.
