Ayurveda Jeevana Vignanam – Aug Episodes

The Raja Saab, starring pan-India superstar Prabhas, is all set for a grand theatrical release on January 9, 2026, making it one of the most anticipated Sankranti releases of the year.

Directed by Maruthi, the fantasy horror-comedy promises a refreshing blend of supernatural elements, humour, emotion, and high-voltage drama. The film has already generated strong buzz with its intriguing trailer, lavish visuals, and genre-mixing narrative.

As anticipation continues to soar, reports suggest that Prabhas made a significant financial sacrifice for the project. Despite reportedly charging close to ₹150 crore per film, the star is said to have accepted a reduced remuneration of ₹100 crore for The Raja Saab. While the exact reason behind this pay cut remains undisclosed, it has only added to the film’s positive buzz.

The supporting cast has also been paid handsomely. Sanjay Dutt, who plays a menacing ghost, is reportedly paid around ₹5–6 crore. Among the leading ladies, Malavika Mohanan is said to have received ₹2 crore, Nidhhi Agerwal around ₹1.2–1.5 crore, while Riddhi Kumar reportedly earned ₹3 crore for her pivotal role. Director Maruthi is said to have been paid ₹18 crore for helming the project.

The story revolves around Prabhas’ character battling dark supernatural forces to protect his family, blending fantasy with strong emotional undertones. SS Thaman’s music plays a crucial role in elevating the film’s scale and mood. Songs like “Sahana Sahana” have already gone viral, amassing millions of views across platforms.

Veteran actress Zarina Wahab also plays a key role in the film. At a recent pre-release event in Hyderabad, Prabhas fondly referred to her as “Nannamma” and even called her the heroine of the film, highlighting her importance in the narrative. However, details regarding her remuneration remain undisclosed.
