The Raja Saab starring Prabhas has been making headlines due to reports claiming that the pirated version of the horror comedy was played in a US restaurant. Read the details inside.
The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas, released in theatres on January 9, 2026. But just a day later, the horror-comedy directed by Maruthi landed into controversy after reports surfaced claiming that the film was leaked online within 24 hours, sparking outrage among fans.
According to several reports, a pirated version of The Raja Saab was uploaded on illegal websites shortly after its theatrical release. Hyderabad cybercrime police have reportedly confirmed the leak, and the authorities have already initiated action against piracy platforms for the same.
The matter gained more attention after a video surfaced online claiming that the pirated version of Prabhas' horror-comedy was being openly played on the television of a restaurant in Ohio, United States. Posted with the caption, "Too much ra," by an Instagram page, the viral clip was later deleted.
However, there has been no official confirmation about the alleged public screening of a pirated print of The Raja Saab, but the act has been condemned by several social media users.
Directed by Maruthi and produced by People Media Factory and IVY Entertainment, the film stars Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, and Zarina Wahab.
The Raja Saab revolves around a man who inherits his ancestral property, only to uncover dark secrets tied to his family’s past. Despite mixed reviews from the audience and critics, the film has reportedly opened with strong numbers. However, it slowed down at the box office the next day.
