The action-packed movie is now set to hit theaters on January 9, 2026, making it a perfect start to the new year for movie lovers.Prabhas shared the poster on Instagram, writing, “See you all in theatres on January 9th, 2026… #TheRajaSaab.” Fans flooded the comments with birthday wishes and excitement for the film. One fan called him “rebelgod” and wished him a long life, while others showered him with love.
The trailer opens with Prabhas sitting in a hypnotist’s office as the classic song Koi Yahan Nache Nache plays in the background. He’s shocked by strange visions of creepy creatures and a haunted mansion. Sanjay Dutt’s character is introduced by Boman Irani as an “exorcist, psychiatrist, and hypnotist.” Prabhas’s character prepares to face him, even throwing in a funny Star Wars reference. The trailer ends with a glimpse of Prabhas’s older look, hinting he also plays the evil grandfather, with Zareena Wahab as the grandmother.

Producer TG Vishwa Prasad revealed that the film’s January release aligns with the Sankranti festival, a popular time for big movie launches.
