Published by Parlour News

The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas in the lead role, is slated to release on January 9, 2026, coinciding with Sankranti next year. Ahead of the film’s arrival in theaters, the makers have unveiled an intriguing second trailer, offering a clearer picture of the narrative. The Raja Saab Trailer 2.0: Prabhas vs Sanjay Dutt is nothing short of visual effects spectacle The 3-minute-and-11-second trailer showcases Prabhas in a role that departs from his usual action avatar. As the film aims to present him in a more adorable and lovable manner, the fantasy horror venture establishes that it will be a Prabhas vs. Sanjay Dutt showdown. The trailer also establishes how the characters are connected to Raja Saab’s grandfather, a malevolent spirit who uses elements of hypnotism to trap people in a never-ending trance. By the end of the trailer, the makers seem to tease that Prabhas’ character also becomes engulfed in the trance, forcing him to balance the elements of a hero and a man possessed by the villain. Moreover, the new trailer features brilliant background …
