Prabhas vs Evil Spirits: Get Ready for a Haunted Rollercoaster in “The Raja Saab”
Prabhas returns with The Raja Saab, a supernatural thriller packed with eerie spirits, dark humor, and a chilling Sanjay Dutt. Here’s everything you need to know about the trailer, cast, and release date.
When the trailer of The Raja Saab hit the web, fans weren’t just excited but were creeped out, thrilled, and laughing nervously, all in one go. The film promises a mix of supernatural chills and tongue-in-cheek humor. Here’s what the first look reveals and why this one’s going to be worth marking your calendar for.
Creepy Meets Comic: The Trailer’s Vibe
From the opening scene, the tone is clear: this isn’t your usual ghost story. Prabhas sits across from a hypnotist, eyes closed, as an eerie version of “Koi Yahan Nache Nache” plays in the background. Instantly, it feels like we’re slipping through time into a haunted past kingdom.
Then things get wild. The trailer flits between haunted houses, jump scares, villains lurking in shadows and sudden doses of humor. There’s a crocodile moment. There’s a haunting. And yet, somehow, the laughs sneak in.
Power of the Grandmother and Prayers
One moment that lingers is Zarina Wahab’s character praying fervently to Goddess Durga, begging for her grandchild’s safety. That urgency gives the supernatural chaos a human anchor. It reminds us these spirits and chills aren’t just for thrills, they're affecting real people, real families.
Sanjay Dutt, The Menace in Human Form
Sanjay Dutt is the antagonist here, and he’s not just a bad guy. He’s a hypnotist, a psychiatrist, an exorcist, someone who seems to toy with people’s minds. The trailer teases scenes where his grip on reality and others’ is chilling. The man you’ll want to fear is the one manipulating from behind the scenes.
By the end, Prabhas emerges with supernatural powers himself. The setup is clear: this will be no ordinary showdown.
Cast, Crew & What Lies Ahead
Directed and written by Maruthi, The Raja Saab also stars Boman Irani, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, and of course Zarina Wahab in important roles. Music is by Thaman S.
The makers confirmed that the trailer will appear not just online, but in theatres too, so fans will get the full audio-visual shock in cinemas.
Release Date: January 9, 2026
The film will be released in multiple languages Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and more.
The Raja Saab wants to do more than scare. It wants to unsettle you, amuse you, and make you think while you’re gripping your seat. If everything lands right, it could be one of those genre-blending hits we talk about for years.
