Still from The RajaSaab
Prabhas-starrer The RajaSaab is gearing up for its OTT release. Directed by Maruthi, the film was among the most anticipated releases of 2026 and marked one of the first major theatrical releases of the year. The horror-fantasy film, which also stars Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar, opened to lukewarm responses during its theatrical run.
The RajaSaab OTT release
After completing a four-week theatrical run, The RajaSaab is set to stream on JioHotstar. The platform has listed the film for its digital premiere on February 6. The film features Prabhas in a stylised horror-fantasy avatar and was mounted on a massive scale.
Reportedly made on a budget of around Rs 400 crore, the film has failed to recover even half of its production cost at the box office. The RajaSaab has currently grossed over Rs 180 crore worldwide and is expected to add only marginal numbers before ending its theatrical run.
The RajaSaab director addresses criticism after film’s release
Speaking at a press conference, director Maruthi addressed the mixed response to the film. “Prabhas fans aren’t disappointed with the film, but they aren’t fully satisfied either. That’s because we showcased him in an old get-up with attitude and swag in the trailer. While searching for that look, the fans couldn’t process the story I was presenting,” he said.
He further added, “Keeping this feedback in mind, I sat down to sharpen the second half and added missing scenes starting from the 6 PM show. I’m confident the 8–9 minute addition will be mind-blowing. No film has depicted a rooftop fight sequence like this before. Prabhas worked extremely hard for it.”
The RajaSaab producer SKN files complaint against trolls
Producer SKN has filed a complaint at the Cyber Crime Police Station in Hyderabad against online trolls. In a press statement, he said the complaint was lodged against social media handles impersonating him and posting derogatory and misleading remarks targeting the film and its cast.
The statement further read, “Such malicious acts are intended to create confusion and spread negativity. Strict legal action will be taken against those involved, and the matter is currently under investigation.” Following the film’s release, several members of the team, including SKN, were subjected to online trolling. It remains to be seen what action will be taken next.
