The makers will officially unveil the teaser soon.
'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' vibes
The teaser promises a charming mix of horror, comedy, and fantasy, which is impressively similar to 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' and many other films that combine these elements.

Thaman's music is also another impressive aspect of the trailer.
The RajaSaab - Official Glimpse
Stellar cast and debut excitement
The teaser showcases a vibrant and eccentric Prabhas in a never-seen-before role. He is joined by Nidhhi Agerwal, who plays one of the female leads, while Malavika Mohanan makes her Telugu debut with this film.
Riddhi Kumar also appears in a significant role. Music is composed by S. Thaman, promising chart-topping soundtracks and an energetic background score to complement the genre.
The makers describe The Raja Saab as 'more glamorous, entertaining, and colorful' than anything Prabhas has done before. There are even comparisons being drawn to Chandramukhi, though the team insists this film stands apart in tone and presentation.
Leak incident sparks strong warning from team
Before the official teaser release, an early teaser from The Raja Saab was leaked online, leading to an official warning from the film's team on June 13. The makers took to social media platform X and issued a stern message:
'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…'
The film is directed by Maruthi and marks a genre shift for Prabhas, who has largely been seen in action, drama, and science fiction over the past few years. Set to hit theaters on December 5, 2025, 'The Raja Saab' combines supernatural elements with comedy, romance, and glamour, offering fans a refreshing blend.

‘What wrong is Deepika demanding?': Kajol and Rani did 8-hour shifts too, says director Siddharth P. Malhotra as Bollywood debate heats up

Agencies Deepika Padukone's reported exit from Spirit over her request for an eight-hour workday has reignited debate on humane work hours in Indian cinema. Director Siddharth P Malhotra defended her stance, citing past examples like Rani Mukerji and Kajol who also worked limited shifts post-motherhood. Last month, reports broke that Deepika Padukone had stepped away from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's much-anticipated Telugu cop drama Spirit . The reason? Her request for an eight-hour workday. The demand, made just eight months after the birth of her daughter Dua Padukone, sparked debate across the industry and social media, with many questioning whether actors should dictate such terms in big-budget productions. Now, director Siddharth P Malhotra has come out in her support, pointing out that such working conditions are not only reasonable but have long existed in the industry. Speaking to IANS, Malhotra recalled wrapping his 2018 film Hichki —starring Rani Mukerji—in just 28 eight-hour shifts. The film, produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films, marked Rani's return to the screen after giving birth to her daughter Adira in 2015. 'For 14 months, I have been there in front of her face. So I kept asking myself, 'Is it going to be worth it?'' Rani had shared in a past interview, reflecting on her emotional struggle as a new mother rejoining work. But Malhotra confirmed the working hours were kept tight and clear. 'She's asking for family time, what wrong is she demanding?' he asked bluntly. 'People are just gaining publicity in the name of Deepika Padukone.' Malhotra also pointed to his debut film We Are Family (2010), in which lead actor Kajol, a mother herself at the time, insisted on fixed working hours. 'When I shot with Kajol in 2010, she used to do eight-hour shifts. She made it very clear she'd either come from 10 am to 6 pm or 7 am to 2 pm,' he said, underscoring that the practice predates the current noise around Deepika's decision. Kajol recently echoed this sentiment to PTI, stating, 'I didn't work for 20 or 30 hours. I was always very clear that we would work a certain amount only, and my mom (veteran actor Tanuja) also backed me up big time on it.' Malhotra believes that directors should match their production plans with the availability of their actors—especially when such conditions are set transparently from the outset. 'If Deepika Padukone has made these conditions clear right from the start, then the director shouldn't work with her if it doesn't suit them,' he said. 'If I need an actor and am confident I can finish the film within those working hours, I'd work with them even for six hours a day.' He added that if Vanga's vision for Spirit required longer working hours, he was within his rights to recast. And that's exactly what has happened: Vanga has now brought Animal star Triptii Dimri on board as the lead opposite Prabhas in the film. While the industry is known for grueling shifts and punishing timelines, the conversation sparked by Padukone's stance opens a new chapter—one that addresses work-life balance, especially for women returning to work post-motherhood.
