What happens

The RajaSaab (titled onscreen as Prabhas's The RajaSaab) is a 2026 Indian Telugu-language fantasy horror comedy film written and directed by Maruthi, and produced by People Media Factory and IVY Entertainment. The film stars Prabhas, alongside Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan (in her Telugu film debut), Riddhi Kumar and Zarina Wahab. In the film, a man searching for his missing grandfather finds himself in a mansion inhabited by a sinister presence. The project was officially announced in January 2024, though principal photography began earlier in October 2022. The film's music is composed by Thaman S, with cinematography by Karthik Palani and editing by Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao. The film was theatrically released worldwide on 9 January 2026, coinciding with Sankranti. It opened to generally negative reviews from critics, with criticism directed primarily at the screenplay and runtime. Despite the festive release window, the film became a box office failure.
