Prabhas’s Film Release Delayed: New Date Pits ‘The Raja Saab’ Against Major South Indian Films

Prabhas’s much-awaited film, ‘The Raja Saab’, faces a new challenge. After initially planning a release this year, the film’s release date has been shifted, reportedly targeting the Pongal festival in January 2026. This move puts it in direct competition with several other major South Indian films. Among the competing films are Chiranjeevi’s film and Naveen Polishetty’s comedy. Additionally, Thalapathy Vijay’s film is also scheduled for release around the same time. This crowded release schedule poses a risk, as it could lead to a division of the audience and impact the film’s potential box office success. The film’s fate now hangs in the balance, with the makers needing to carefully consider their strategy.
