Prabhas Starrer The Raja Saab Teaser Leaked? Makers Issue Stern Warning

Last Updated: A report is coming in that some of its content has been leaked. However, makers have issued warning notice. Prabhas' starrer The Raja Saab has been grabbing attention for a long time. The film release has been postponed multiple times, and recently makers announced it will finally be released in December this year. Ahead of it, a teaser will be released on June 16, but a report is coming in that some of its content has been leaked. However, reacting to it, makers have issued a warning notice. Taking to their X handle, makers wrote, 'Strict action will be taken and handles will be suspended immediately if any leaked content from #TheRajaSaab is found…. We request everyone to cooperate and stand with us in protecting the experience. Let's celebrate responsibly. Be aware." Directed by Maruthi, the film stars Malavika Mohanan and Nidhhi Agerwal in the lead female roles and has already generated significant buzz for its unique genre blend and intriguing visuals. Recently, 123Telugu has reported that the makers have revealed that the teaser will be screened in select theatres. While the list of locations and timings is still under wraps, the buzz is already building across social media. 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. 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. Backed by People's Media Factory, The Raja Saab brings together music by Thaman S and visuals captured by cinematographer Karthik Palani. Apart from The Raja Saab, Prabhas has a busy lineup that includes the period drama Fauji, the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD, and Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit. With so many high-profile projects in the pipeline, 2025 is poised to be a monumental year for the superstar. First Published:

(Also read: Rajinikanth, Lokesh Kanagaraj's massive salaries for Coolie revealed: Report) 'Lokesh is a whistle factor. I was with him on the streets of Chennai, and there's a huge fan following for him. We went out for lunch, and people kept coming to him. He's a whistle factor himself,' he said during the interaction. He went on to add about the film, 'I have a very important character in the film. I must thank Loki for the way he has presented me. Coolie is a full-on whistle film… My favourite film is Vikram and the roles of Fahadh Faasil, Vijay Sethupathi, and even the nanny (Agent Tina) are fantastic. In Coolie, keeping Rajni sir aside, there's Upendra from Kannada, Aamir Khan from Hindi, and myself, and all of these characters stand out. That is the trump card of Coolie.' Coolie, directed by Lokesh and produced by Kalanithi Maran's Sun Pictures, stars Rajinikanth in the lead role. Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR and Monisha Blessy make up the rest of the cast. Filming was wrapped up in March this year after its announcement in 2023. Aamir Khan has a cameo in the film. Lokesh and Chandhru Anbazhagan penned the script and dialogues for the film. Anirudh Ravichandar composed the music. Coolie will release in theatres on 14 August and clash with Ayan Mukherji's Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR-starrer War 2.
