The producer of the upcoming Prabhas starrer The Raja Saab shared that the film's release date has been pushed back and shared that the first raw cut of the film is 4.5 hours long. The movie is a romantic comedy horror, marking the first time the star will be acting in a horror film.
The Raja Saab is one of the most anticipated upcoming Telugu releases. The movie is currently in production and is expected to hit the big screen worldwide in 2026. In a recent interview, the film's producer TG Vishwa Prasad shared that the movie's release date may be pushed back to early 2026 because they prefer the movie to hit theatres during the festive season of Sankranthi. The Raja Saab was initially set for a December 2025 release. Prasad also revealed that the first raw cut of the film is a whopping 4.5 hours long.
Why is the Raja Saab release delayed
Speaking with Great Andhra, TG Vishwa Prasad shared that the movie's stakeholders want to push back the release to cash in on the festive season, and that the movie's first raw cut is around 4.5 hours long and that the film will be trimmed down at the discretion of director Maruthi. He also shared that The Raja Saab is expected to wrap filming this October.
Long runtimes for first cuts of films are nothing new, so we can expect the final product to be significantly trimmed down when it finally releases.
