‘The Raja Saab’ teaser: Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt shines in this horror comedy flick; Gives 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' vibes—watch video

Following the roaring success of ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ Prabhas is ready to charm audiences in a completely new avatar with his upcoming horror-comedy flick ‘The Raja Saab.’


The much-awaited teaser for the film dropped on Monday, June 16, at 10:52 am, and it’s already creating buzz for its colorful visuals, quirky tone, and star-studded ensemble. 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. What makes 'The Raja Saab' trailer special is surely Prabhas' stunning screen presence, and the actor seems to have come back to his form. Thaman's music is also another impressive aspect of the teaser. Another major highlight is surely Sanjay Dutt's stunning performance.


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. Meanwhile, Prabhas will be next seen in 'Kannappa'.
