Prabhas himself became a threat to his film? The shadow of ‘spirit’ on ‘The Raja Saab’!
Prabhas’s ‘The Raja Saab’ in controversy before its release, why is the superstar leaving the promotion and going to Europe?
Things have been ups and downs for South superstar Prabhas for some time now. After the grand success of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, fans were expecting that the ‘Baahubali’ star will once again rule the box office. But, the beginning of 2026 has brought as big expectations for Prabhas’ career as there are equally big challenges. Especially regarding his upcoming film ‘The Raja Saab’, there is a lot of discussion in the film circles about whether Prabhas himself is becoming a threat to his film?
The biggest hurdle is the busy schedule of Prabhas’s second mega-budget film, Spirit. Let us understand why the risks are increasing in this game worth crores of rupees.
Prabhas in two boats: ‘The Raja Saab’ vs ‘Spirit’
Prabhas is currently very serious about Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film ‘Spirit’. In this film, he will be seen in the role of a strict police officer. The scale of the film is huge and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s track record (Arjun Reddy, Animal) is giving it more hype. But due to this ’emotion’, the shine of ‘The Raja Saab’ seems to be decreasing.
Release and Clash: ‘The Raja Saab’ is scheduled to release on the occasion of Pongal (January 2026). Pongal is the biggest season for South Indian cinema and this time too many big superstars are in the queue. In such a situation, strong promotion is necessary for the success of the film.
Distance from promotion: According to recent reports, Prabhas will be busy shooting for ‘Spirit’ instead of promoting his film ‘The Raja Saab’ just before its release. Not only this, there is also talk that he may go to Europe before release.
Grand event and fans’ tension: What will happen in Hyderabad today?
A grand pre-release event has been organized by the makers of the film to set the mood. Today, on 27th December 2025, a big event is going to be held at Kaithalpur Ground in Hyderabad. Fans are hoping that Prabhas will come here and talk openly about the film. But the tension is whether it will remain just a formal event?
Experts believe that if the lead actor is missing from the promotion of the film or his focus is on some other big film, then the audience does not generate the curiosity about the film that it should.
Manufacturers’ share and sensor process
The team of ‘The Raja Saab’ has left no stone unturned. The film’s censor formalities have been completed and post-production work is in the final stages.
Star Cast: The film stars Malavika Mohanan and Nidhhi Agerwal in lead roles along with Prabhas.
music: The music of the film has been composed by Thaman S, who is expected to deliver chartbuster songs once again.
Late history: Let us tell you that ‘The Raja Saab’ has been postponed several times before. It was postponed due to work not being completed even after the release date was announced twice. Now the date has been fixed as 9 January 2026, which could become a ‘do or die’ situation for Prabhas.
Why is it important for ‘The Raja Saab’ to win?
Prabhas has many big films in his account like ‘Kalki 2’, ‘Salaar 2’, ‘Fauji’, ‘Brahmarakshas’ and ‘Spirit’. But it all depends on the success of ‘The Raja Saab’. If the first big film of the year performs poorly at the box office, it may impact the brand value of upcoming projects.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Spirit’ is undoubtedly a big bet, but riding two boats together could prove dangerous for Prabhas. It is said in the film industry that “what is seen is what sells”. If Prabhas is not seen on the ground during the promotion of his film, then it will have to be seen that this budget of crores does not go up in smoke of ‘Spirit’.
conclusion
No one doubts the star power of Prabhas, but in today’s era of competition, name alone is not enough. The makers and fans of ‘The Raja Saab’ hope that Prabhas will give the film the priority it deserves amid his busy schedule. Pongal is a tough competition, and the winner will be the one who has strength in both ‘promotion’ and ‘content’.
