The Raja Saab Teaser Out: Fans Compare Prabhas' Horror-Comedy to Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Chandramukhi
The Raja Saab teaser, starring Prabhas in a never-seen-before horror-comedy avatar, is finally out and it's already stirring up a storm across fan circles and film forums.
Set in a mysterious horror villa with a good dose of humour and unexpected jump scares, the teaser offers a cocktail of thrills and laughs.
Fans compare The Raja Saab to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 & Chandramukhi
While many fans were expecting a vibe similar to Stree, the teaser seems to channel more of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 energy- blending supernatural suspense with cheeky, light-hearted moments. And if that mix wasn't enough, the appearance of veteran actor Sanjay Dutt in a powerful avatar instantly elevates the intrigue.
Joining Prabhas on this haunting journey is Malavika Mohanan, making her Telugu debut, along with Nidhhi Agerwal and Riddhi Kumar, who complete the lead cast. The chemistry, the comic timing, and the setup all hint at a film that doesn't take itself too seriously, in the best way possible.
The teaser's background score by Thaman S fits the genre well, amplifying the eerie-comic blend. While comparisons are being drawn with Chandramukhi, the makers insist that The Raja Saab is both unique and fresh, aiming to offer something new to the horror-comedy space.
Film Faced Drawback as Teaser leaked online
However, before fans could officially watch the teaser, it suffered an unfortunate leak online. The production team has since issued a statement warning of strict legal action against those responsible. In a statement on the film's official X handle on Friday, they 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 comes with a massive budget and marks Prabhas' first foray into the horror genre, a bold move for the pan-India superstar known for his action and romantic blockbusters.
With a release date set for December 5, the countdown has begun. But the big question remains- can Prabhas scare and charm audiences at the same time? Or will this haunted tale fizzle out?
What are your thoughts on the teaser? Does The Raja Saab look like a blockbuster in the making or is it too early to tell?

Throwback! When Sanjay Dutt allegedly said 'sorry' to Madhuri Dixit over romance buzz
The alleged relationship between Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt was one of the most talked-about topics in the 1990s, often dominating gossip columns and industry chatter. While neither star ever publicly confirmed the rumors, their undeniable on-screen chemistry sparked intense speculation. As is often said, there might be a grain of truth behind some whispers. Sanjay Dutt, known for his flamboyant persona and tumultuous past—as later depicted in his biopic Sanju —was frequently portrayed as Bollywood's quintessential Casanova. During this time, he and Madhuri shared screen space in a string of successful films such as 'Khatron Ke Khiladi, Thanedaar, Saajan, Khalnayak, Ilaaka, and Sahibaan'. Their magnetic pairing on screen naturally gave rise to stories of a growing off-screen connection. The rumors reached their peak during the filming of Saajan (1991). Their increasing closeness became a favorite subject for tabloids and insiders alike, turning their alleged relationship into one of Bollywood's most mysterious and intriguing love stories—one that was never officially acknowledged. In an old interview with Movie magazine, Sanjay Dutt spoke about the media storm that surrounded them. "This story surfaced around the time of Saajan ," he recalled. "She was shooting Khel in Kenya when the reports came out. I felt terrible, so I went up to her and apologized during our next Saajan schedule. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scam Exposed: What They Won't Tell You about zero trust!

At one point, it was even speculated that Madhuri and Sanjay were serious enough to consider marriage. However, following Sanjay Dutt's arrest in 1993 under the TADA Act, everything changed. Their relationship reportedly came to an abrupt end. The arrest not only altered the course of his career but also deeply impacted his personal life and relationships. Though their love story was never officially confirmed, it remains etched in Bollywood folklore—an untold romance suspended between reel and real life.

Despite owning property worth crores, Prabhas still couldn't get married to this actress..., reason will leave you shocked
Prabhas—pan-India superstar and heartthrob to millions—has a fan base that rivals the biggest names in cinema. Despite frequent link-ups with various actresses, it's his on-screen chemistry with Baahubali co-star Anushka Shetty that continues to spark wedding rumours. For years, whispers of a secret romance and impending wedding have made headlines. Yet, the question remains: Why haven't Prabhas and Anushka tied the knot? Once again, speculation is gaining traction, thanks to a resurfaced report from an English magazine. According to the reports, both actors were indeed close, and their families had allegedly given a green signal to their marriage. But things reportedly came to a halt due to one surprising factor: their kundalis (astrological charts) didn't match. Yes, in a twist straight out of a film plot, astrology allegedly derailed what could've been South cinema's most beloved off-screen couple. The report suggests that Prabhas and Anushka respected the astrological mismatch to such an extent that they may have chosen to remain single rather than risk going against it. While fans call this belief outdated, others see it as a sign of deep-rooted family values. Adding to the intrigue, Shyamala Devi—wife of late actor-producer Krishnam Raju and Prabhas's aunt—had previously addressed the marriage chatter. In an old interview, she said, 'Not just you, the entire world is waiting for Prabhas's wedding.' She went on to say, 'God has made someone special for everyone, and at the right time, everything will fall into place.' She also gave subtle hints about the kind of partner Prabhas is likely to choose: 'He will prefer someone who blends into the family, someone warm and positive. He dislikes negativity and people who criticise others.' Despite the buzz and endless theories, one thing is clear—Prabhas's wedding continues to be a million-dollar mystery for his fans and the industry alike. Until there's an official word, the wait (and wild guessing) continues.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's BOLD Move: Lauds Kiara Advani Amid Deepika Padukone Row, Snubs Shahid Kapoor
Sandeep Reddy Vanga celebrated 6 years of Shahid Kapoor's Kabir Singh but only shared Kiara Advani's picture. Sandeep Reddy Vanga has marked 6 years of Kabir Singh- his Bollywood breakthrough film. However, the post has caught everyone's attention as the director has only shared Kiara Advani's picture, seemingly snubbing Shahid Kapoor, who played the titular character in the movie. Interestingly, Vanga has shared an image of his former leading lady amid reports of his fallout with Deepika Padukone. Kiara Advani played Preeti in the film, a pivotal character who was Shahid Kapoor's love interest in the film. Instead of sharing an image of his hero, Vanga posted a picture featuring Kiara. Have a look here: This comes as Vanga is embroiled in the Spirit controversy. For the unversed, Sandeep Reddy Vanga reportedly removed Deepika Padukone from Prabhas starrer Spirit. Reports suggest that her demands, including eight-hour workdays, a high salary, and a share in the film's profits, did not sit well with director Vanga. Deepika, a new mother, is reportedly seeking to balance her work and personal life by reducing her working hours. Vanga then took to his X handle and slammed an unnamed actor by accusing them of playing 'dirty PR games'. 'When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100% faith. There is an unsaid NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, You've 'DISCLOSED' the person that you are…Putting down a Younger actor and ousting my story? Is this what your feminism stands for? As a filmmaker, I put years of hard work behind my craft & for me, filmmaking is everything. You didn't get it. You won't get it. You will never get it," Vanga wrote and then added, 'Aisa karo…. Agli baar poori kahani bolna… kyunki mujhe jarra bhi farak nahi padtha. #dirtyPRgames. I like this kahawath very much 🙂 खुंदक में बिल्ली खंबा नोचे !" Soon after, Deepika was announced as part of Atlee and Allu Arjun's upcoming film AA22 X A6. Judging by the teaser, she appears to play a warrior princess in the action-packed venture. After the film's announcement, Allu Arjun was reportedly ousted from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's next film. If a report by is to be believed, the Telugu superstar had signed a movie with the Animal director last year. However, insiders now claim that the film has been put on hold and Allu Arjun has been removed from it. First Published:
