The Raja Saab: Has Prabhas cut down his fees from Rs 150 crore for horror comedy after Adipurush's debacle?
Prabhas has got his hands full at the moment, courtesy of his lineup of upcoming films. The Rebel Star recently made headlines as the release date of his much-anticipated romantic comedy horror film, The Raja Saab, was announced. After a few months of delay, the rom-com will finally be released on December 5.
Did Prabhas reduce his fees for The Raja Saab?
According to a Siasat report, the Rebel star may have reduced his fees by Rs 50 crores for the Maruthi directorial. It is believed that the Telugu actor made this decision following the underwhelming response to his film Adipurush, which was backed by the same production house, People Media Factory.
Coming to The Raja Saab, Prabhas, who usually charges Rs. 150 crores for a film, is taking Rs. 100 crores for this upcoming venture.
The Raja Saab was postponed from April 2025
For the uninitiated, The Raja Saab was first scheduled to hit the big screens on April 10. Despite the excitement of fans regarding its release, the film was delayed due to pending VFX work at the post-production stage.
And now, after 8 months, the movie is back on track for a December 2025 theatrical release.
What is the storyline of The Raja Saab?
This marks the first project ever where Prabhas debuts in the genre of horror-comedy movies. From the first few glimpses and posters of the film, it is evident that the actor has gone beyond his usual to pull off such a charming role.
Speaking about the storyline of the film, The Raja Saab centres around the life of a man who has been eyeing an ancestral property for a long time, with the hopes of turning it into a profitable investment.
However, as he proceeds with his plan, the man is shocked to learn about the hidden secrets of the place, which truly indicate that the place holds much more than meets the eye.
Prabhas' upcoming projects
Besides The Raja Saab, the actor has another interesting film, PrabhasHanu, in the lineup. The film is reportedly titled Fauji.
On the other hand, he has the much-controversial project Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Besides, the actor will also be making a special and extended cameo role in Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa.
Furthermore, sequels work for Salaar 2 and Kalki 2 are also said to be in the works once the Rebel star finishes his impending projects at hand.

Dakota Johnson defends herself against 'Madame Web' backlash ahead of 'The Materialists' release; says, "It wasn't my fault.."
Naturally, the finger-pointing began when Madame Web crashed and burned. Dakota Johnson is stating clearly now that she is not the one at fault. New Film, Old Baggage Dakota Johnson is once again making headlines as 'The Materialists' gets ready for release this month, but not just because of her on-screen chemistry with Chris Evans and internet sensation Pedro Pascal . A less flattering discussion about Dakota Johnson's box office performance has been rekindled by the excitement surrounding her most recent project. Backlash from a Superhero Misstep Although many people are still thinking about Spider-Man spinoff 'Madame Web,' one of 2024's most infamous failures, Johnson has some insightful observations about why it didn't work out, even though the upcoming romantic comedy might finally give her a commercial victory. "It wasn't my fault," Johnson said in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, laughing as she addressed the elephant in the room. The actor shifts the blame from herself to the larger industry dynamics that she believes doomed Madame Web from the beginning, and that line alone has caused a media frenzy. 'There's this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee,' she explained during an interview with Bustle. 'Or made by people who don't have a creative bone in their body. And it's really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way,' Johnson further reflected as she continued, 'And I think, unfortunately, with Madame Web, it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time.' 'Madame Web' Johnson played Cassandra Webb in Madame Web, a film about a paramedic in New York City who discovers she can see into the future and has to defend three teenage girls who will become Spider-Women from a villainous Ezekiel Sims. The film failed both critically and commercially, despite having a promising premise and a cast that included big-name actors. In early 2025, it won three Golden Raspberry (Razzie) Awards, including Worst Actress, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Picture for Johnson herself. This is a trifecta that no actor can hope to achieve. Dakota's Moving On Without Regrets Johnson, however, shrugged off the criticism during an interview with the Los Angeles Times by saying, "I don't have a Band-Aid over it." "There isn't a part of me that says, 'Oh, I'll never do that again.'" I've done tiny movies that didn't do well. Who cares?" Dakota Johnson's Materialists will premiere in U.S. theaters on June 13, 2025. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .

Microfinance: Indicators show cautious lending, continuing stress in parts
Amid these shifts, CRIF High Mark emphasised that the sector remains on a path of long-term sustainability BS Reporter New Delhi The microfinance business continues to prioritise larger loan sizes. According to CRIF High Mark's 'MicroLend March 2025', loans between Rs 30,000–50,000 declined by 6.7 per cent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), while those up to Rs 30,000 contracted by 8 per cent. Loans in the Rs 50,000-80,000 range saw a moderate QoQ decline of 0.4 per cent. Despite a small base, loans of Rs 80,000, particularly those over Rs 100,000 grew beyond industry trends, indicating a shift toward higher-ticket loans, likely among existing customers. Amid these shifts, CRIF High Mark emphasised that the sector remains on a path of long-term sustainability. While current indicators suggest cautious lending and persistent stress in parts of the portfolio, improvement in early-stage performance and a gradual move towards higher-quality credit segments are encouraging trends.
