Team The RajaSaab has officially announced Malavika Mohanan's character, Bhairavi, in the much-awaited Prabhas starrer. The reveal marks a key moment in the film's promotional campaign, introducing Bhairavi as a mysterious, stylish, and powerful presence. This announcement adds further intrigue to what is being positioned as India's biggest upcoming horror fantasy, increasing curiosity around the world of The RajaSaab ahead of its release.
In the newly released poster, Malavika Mohanan brings a mix of elegance and danger in a sheer black saree paired with a statement blouse and layered bracelets, holding a textured handbag and lifting her sunglasses with calm confidence. The abandoned corridor behind her deepens the supernatural tone and presents Bhairavi as both alluring and intense. Her look clearly signals that she plays a major role in the film's mystery.
The Raja Saab's producers have increased the buzz surrounding the film by releasing behind-the-scenes videos from the second song, 'Sahana Sahana', which features Nidhhi Agerwal. The BTS video, which was published on social media, provides a behind-the-scenes look at the love track and has immediately gained traction among fans.
The makers took to Instagram and uploaded three videos of Nidhhi Agrewal practising for the dance piece. On-set laughter and masti are also noticeable. However, interested fans instantly inquired about Prabhas' absence in the comments section. Many others sent heart emojis in the comments section. Recently, the actress thanked fans for their support of the song. This is the second song in the film.
With the songs and the trailer already receiving strong audience reactions, The RajaSaab is building solid momentum before release.
According to reports, The RajaSaab will cost Rs 400 crore. Previously, the film's team stated in a press release that the horror comedy picture will centre on a haveli that is 'unlike anything Indian cinema has seen before'. The set, designed by art director Rajeevan Nambiar, spans 41,256 square feet. According to the creators, the haveli is more than simply a backdrop; it is an 'immersive, living, breathing space' that plays a significant role in the plot.
Fans are praising the music, visual scale, and the shift in tone that the film promises. There is particular excitement to see Prabhas in a new, lighter yet layered avatar - one that mixes charm with the supernatural energy of the story.
Directed and written by Maruthi, The RajaSaab is produced by People Media Factory and IVY Entertainment. The film stars Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar. Releasing in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, the film arrives in cinemas worldwide on 9th January 2026.
