The Raja Saab: Prabhas Surprises Fans With Sanjay Dutt's First Look, Says 'Grateful'
Last Updated: Prabhas shared the first look from The Raja Saab. The film is releasing on December 5 and will be clashing with Shahid Kapoor's next Prabhas starrer The Raja Saab has been creating a lot of buzz among the fans. Today, he gave fans a royal treat by unveiling the first look of Sanjay Dutt from their upcoming horror comedy. The first look showcases the veteran actor in a powerful and commanding avatar, sparking instant buzz across social media. Taking to his Instagram stories, Prabhas shared the first regal look of Sanjay Dutt. 'Wishing the ever-inspiring Sanjay Dutt sir a very happy birthday! Grateful to share the screen with you in #TheRajaSaab." In no time, it went viral among fans. Joining Prabhas in this supernatural entertainer are Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Ridhi Kumar, who play key roles. The Raja Saab is touted to be a horror-comedy, marking a genre break for Prabhas after having featured in action or fantasy dramas in the past few years. The film features a Haveli that's unlike anything seen before in Indian cinema. This grand set, spanning 41,256 sq ft, is officially the largest horror set ever constructed in India. The movie was originally supposed to hit theatres in April 2025 but got delayed, sparking rumours that the makers were eyeing a festive release instead. Today, June 3, the makers finally ended all the guessing and officially locked in the new release date. The film is all set to hit theatres this December in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, making it a full-on Pan-India treat. As per the official announcement, The Raja Saab will hit theatres worldwide on December 5. The film is directed by Maruthi, the man behind hits like Bhale Bhale Magadivoy, Mahanubhavudu, and Manchi Rojulochaie. Director Maruthi took to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle to share the big news. His post featured a vibrant poster of the film with 'Dec 5 in cinemas worldwide" boldly displayed. Alongside it, he wrote, 'A day that promises a festival on the big screens just like we all dreamt of seeing our dearest darling #Prabhas. A lot more exciting days ahead… #TheRajaSaab." The Raja Saab is currently the only Telugu-language film locked in for December 5, and with Prabhas leading the charge, it's no surprise that other releases might steer clear of that weekend. The film is also expected to make a big splash in the Hindi market. However, it won't have the date all to itself as in Bollywood, it's heading for a box office face-off with Vishal Bhardwaj's upcoming film starring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, which is also set to release on the same day.
