The Raja Saab Trailer: Prabhas Grooves to Bappi Lahiri Beats, Confronts Sanjay Dutt in a Star Wars-Style Faceoff”

The wait is over! The trailer for Prabhas's The Raja Saab has finally landed, and it’s a wild, thrilling ride that packs in everything from disco fever to supernatural chills. In just over three minutes, we see the 'Rebel Star' Prabhas in a brand-new avatar—first, charming us with his dance moves to Bappi Lahiri’s iconic beats, and then, squaring off for an epic, Star Wars-style clash against a formidable Sanjay Dutt.

After facing several delays, the film's team has not only delivered a visual spectacle for fans but also set a solid release date: January 9, 2026, perfectly timed for the Sankranthi festival.

A Hypnotic Descent into the Supernatural

The trailer kicks off with an intriguing scene: Prabhas’s character is under hypnosis, guided by Boman Irani. As he drifts into a trance, the classic disco track "Koi Yahan Nache Nache" fills the air, pulling us into a world where reality bends and the supernatural takes over.

What unfolds is a rollercoaster of eerie moments and laugh-out-loud comedy. We’re whisked away to a haunted castle filled with ghostly figures and clever jump scares, all while Prabhas and his friends navigate the chaos. The trailer brilliantly balances spine-tingling horror with Prabhas's natural comedic flair. Adding depth to the story are the leading ladies—Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar—who bring their own charm and intrigue to the plot.

A Clash of Titans

Just as we settle into the spooky fun, the mood shifts with the arrival of Sanjay Dutt. His character is introduced as a terrifying triple threat—an "exorcist, psychiatrist, and hypnotist"—a villain described as nearly "impossible to face." Dutt’s powerful screen presence oozes menace, setting the stage for an unforgettable battle.

Not to be outdone, Prabhas’s character undergoes a stunning transformation, embracing a dark power of his own and declaring, "I am the demon." This sets up what the trailer boldly calls a "face-off," evoking the scale of a classic Star Wars duel. It’s a battle of illusions, shifting realities, and raw power that promises to be the film’s centerpiece.

Built on a Grand Scale

Helmed by director Maruthi, The Raja Saab is a true cinematic ambition. In the works since October 2022, the film is a technical marvel, most notably shot on the largest indoor set ever built in India. This massive mansion, spanning 41,256 square feet, was constructed from the ground up near Hyderabad just for the movie.

The film’s grand vision is supported by a stellar technical team, including music composer Thaman S, and a talented cast that features Boman Irani and the beloved Zarina Wahab, who plays Prabhas’s worried grandmother.

Save the Date!

After a long journey through production, The Raja Saab is all set for a worldwide theatrical blast on January 9, 2026. It will release in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam, ensuring its unique blend of horror, comedy, and fantasy reaches every corner of the country.

With its irresistible mix of nostalgic music, genuine scares, lighthearted humor, and a colossal clash between two powerhouse actors, The Raja Saab is shaping up to be the cinematic event of winter 2026.
