In a move that has thrilled fans, the production house unveiled the first-look poster of Irani's character, and it has instantly set social media platforms ablaze.
A Birthday Surprise That Went Viral
Released as a special birthday treat for the veteran actor, the poster captivated audiences within minutes of its release. It masterfully hints at the film's central mystery while offering a deep dive into the complexity of Boman Irani's character. The image has successfully fueled even greater excitement for the project, which is already riding high on expectations.
Decoding Boman Irani's Multi-Faceted Role
In 'The Raja Saab', Boman Irani is set to portray a richly layered character who is a therapist, a psychic, and a paranormal investigator. This combination promises a performance of significant depth. A glimpse of his impact was already seen in the previously released trailer, where a scene featuring him hypnotizing Prabhas's character introduced a major plot twist. Many fans and analysts now believe that the emotional core of the entire film will stem from Irani's pivotal role.
The newly released poster offers a visual feast that underscores this complexity. Dressed in deep, traditional colors and holding a cane, Boman Irani's gaze holds a secret intensity. The team's accompanying note suggests his character stands "between the worlds of reality and the inexplicable," strongly hinting that many more secrets are waiting to be uncovered.
A Star-Studded Pan-India Release for 2026
The poster reveal was also a moment of star-powered camaraderie. Megastar Prabhas shared the poster online, wishing his co-star, "Happy Birthday Boman Irani sir… Have a fantastic year ahead…". This powerful collaboration has sharpened the already sky-high expectations for the film.
Directed by Maruthi, 'The Raja Saab' is being positioned as one of the biggest cinematic offerings of 2026. The horror-comedy drama boasts an impressive ensemble cast including Malavika Mohanan, Nidhi Aggarwal, Rithi Kumar, and Sanjay Dutt. True to its pan-India vision, the film will be released in five languages: Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Mark your calendars, as the film is officially slated for a January 9, 2026 release. This date sets the stage for a major box office showdown during the Pongal/Sankranti festival period, where it will directly compete with Thalapathy Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan'. The stage is set for a spectacular start to the new year in Indian cinema.
