Prabhas' The Raja Saab's release next year to clash with Vijay Thalapathy starrer Jana Nayagan? Details inside

The announcement came during the trailer launch event of Teja Sajja’s Mirai, where producer TG Vishwa Prasad confirmed the delay.

The release date of Prabhas' eagerly anticipated movie The Raja Saab has once again been moved, heightening the excitement for the project. The release date has been moved from December 5, 2025 to January 9, 2026.

With this change, the movie is expected to compete fiercely at the box office against Jana Nayagan, starring Thalapathy Vijay; Mana Shankar Vara Prasad Garu, which is starring Chiranjeevi; and Anaganaga Oka Raju, which is starring Naveen Polishetty.

The announcement came during the trailer launch event of Teja Sajja’s Mirai, where producer TG Vishwa Prasad confirmed the delay. Speaking about the decision earlier, he had shared, “Hindi buyers are asking for a 5 December release, while Telugu buyers want it for 9 January to coincide with Sankranthi. We will take a call that suits us best.” The makers have now officially locked January 9 as the new release date.

Prabhas is set to play double roles in The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi and produced by People Media Factory.

Alongside Nidhhi Agerwal and Riddhi Kumar, Malavika Mohanan makes her Telugu film debut. Sanjay Dutt is apparently portraying an elderly king in the fantasy drama, which heightens the suspense.

Fans are preparing for one of the biggest box office battles in recent history as the film has already experienced numerous delays and its release date has been set for Sankranthi 2026. The timing is especially important because Vijay's Jana Nayagan will be his last film before he leaves the movie industry to devote himself full-time to his political career.
