The countdown has officially begun for one of the most anticipated pan-India trailers of the year. The makers of the upcoming romantic horror-comedy, ‘The Raja Saab,’ have announced that they will unveil the film’s theatrical trailer on Monday, September 29th, at 6 PM. This massive social media announcement has sent waves of excitement through the fan base of Rebel Star Prabhas, who prepares to show audiences a refreshing new avatar in the genre-bending entertainer.
Taking to their official social media handles, producer T.G. Vishwa Prasad’s People Media Factory dropped a dynamic new poster and confirmed the exact time of the trailer launch. The announcement poster, while showcasing Prabhas’s stylish look, notably omitted any mention of a definitive theatrical release date. This strategic omission keeps the suspense high, especially in light of the continuous speculation swirling around the film’s debut on the big screen.
The production house is clearly leveraging the actor’s massive following to generate pre-release momentum, a critical step for a film aiming for a global release across multiple languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. The trailer promises to offer the first substantial glimpse into the world crafted by director Maruthi, who is collaborating with Prabhas for the first time.
While industry whispers previously pegged a release date of December 5th, the absence of this date on the new trailer announcement poster has only intensified speculation of a major shift. The most dominant rumour now suggests the makers move the film to the lucrative Pongal 2026 window.
This potential change positions The Raja Saab for a blockbuster festive clash, aiming to capitalize on the massive audience turnout during the Sankranti holiday period, a traditionally high-performing season for Telugu and South Indian films. Fans and trade analysts eagerly await the trailer’s release, hoping the 6 PM reveal will finally put the release date debate to rest with a concrete official announcement. Until then, the anticipation for a festive Pongal 2026 release will only climb.
The excitement for The Raja Saab extends beyond Prabhas, thanks to its impressive ensemble cast. Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt features in a pivotal role, adding significant star power to the pan-India project.
The film also boasts a talented lineup of female leads: Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar, each set to play key roles in the romantic and supernatural storyline. With director Maruthi at the helm, known for successfully blending comedy and romance, audiences expect a visually grand and entertaining film that breaks away from the recent trend of high-octane action thrillers, giving Prabhas a chance to showcase his comedic timing and charming screen presence.
Produced by T.G. Vishwa Prasad, one of the industry’s top names, under the People Media Factory banner, the scale of the film is already massive. All eyes now fix on September 29th at 6 PM. The trailer release does not just preview the film’s content but will serve as the starting gun for the movie’s aggressive promotional campaign and, hopefully, the much-anticipated confirmation of its worldwide release date. Fans should prepare to brace themselves for a royal and thrilling cinematic treat.
