Big Wait for Prabhas Fans: 'The Raja Saab' Release Delayed
The movie world rarely goes exactly as planned, especially when it comes to ambitious projects loaded with special effects and big names like Prabhas. If you were marking your calendar for *The Raja Saab* in April 2025, you’ll need a new date: the film has officially shifted its release to December 5, 2025. The switch isn’t just some routine rescheduling—it’s all about getting those details right, particularly with heavy-duty VFX that the film promises.
Director Maruthi recently stepped up to give restless fans a peek behind the curtain. He revealed that most of the main filming—except for a few talkie parts and some song sequences—is basically done. That’s a pretty good sign for any movie, but not when you’re counting on next-level visuals. For a horror-comedy like this, standard effects just won’t cut it. Several VFX studios are now working under tight deadlines, trying to pull off sequences that supposedly raise the bar for Indian commercial cinema. Maruthi says progress is happening, but the finish line can't be rushed.
What to Expect from the Film—and What’s Next
What’s all the fuss around VFX for a horror-comedy? Insiders are saying *The Raja Saab* is doubling down on horror visuals, blending traditional scares with over-the-top comedic effects. It’s clear the team isn’t just dropping in a few jump scares—they’re orchestrating entire scenes that depend on flawless digital work. That means the production isn’t just waiting for edits; they’re basically inventing and tweaking every detail, down to the mood of a monster or the punchline in a spooky hallway. If you’ve seen recent Indian films investing big bucks in effects, you know just how much this can slow things down.
On top of visuals, there are still song sequences left to shoot—an essential part of any big Telugu movie. These tend to be elaborate, sometimes involving massive sets or choreographed dance numbers that take weeks themselves. And while the core footage might be ready, those musical moments can easily become showstoppers with the right polish—something Maruthi is clearly aiming for.
Fans can apparently expect lyrical videos or teasers before the main film lands. The production house, People Media Factory, is expected to make those smaller announcements before the full-blown promotional blitz when everything's ready. Until then, it’s a waiting game, but the director’s message is clear: they’re refusing to rush just to hit an arbitrary date. Instead, the filmmakers want the finished product to shine—especially since Prabhas’ reputation depends on it after a string of high-octane roles.
- Rumors keep popping up about Sanjay Dutt making a cameo appearance—even though nobody official has confirmed this yet. Given his recent run of interesting parts in South Indian films, fans are keeping their eyes peeled for a surprise.
- The movie’s budget, especially for VFX, continues to be a talking point among industry watchers. With multiple studios involved, expectations are sky-high.
For now, everyone from Prabhas die-hards to casual moviegoers will need to hang tight until December 2025. If Maruthi and his team get their way, all that patience could pay off with a horror-comedy that feels fresher—and looks sharper—than anything the Indian big screen has offered in a while.
