In a final promotional push, the makers have begun unveiling exciting content, including a vibrant dance number that has caught fans' attention.
Reviving a Classic: 'Koyi Yaha Nache Nache' Teaser Drops
Building excitement for the film's release next week, the production team recently shared a pulsating teaser of the song 'Koyi Yaha Nache Nache' on their social media platforms. This track is a modern, reimagined version of the iconic 1993 hit 'Koi Yahan Nache Nache' from the blockbuster 'Disco Dancer', originally sung by Bappi Lahiri and Usha Uthup.
The new rendition infuses the classic with contemporary techno beats, creating a high-energy atmosphere. The brief teaser showcases Prabhas sharing the dance floor with co-stars Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, and Riddhi Kumar. The visuals are a glamorous affair, with the cast dazzling in a sequence of stylish outfits in silver, white, and maroon colours.
The makers have confirmed that the full video of the song will be released on January 5th. The music for this peppy track and the film's score has been composed by the renowned Thaman S.
Director Maruthi Unveils Prabhas' New Avatar
In the lead-up to the release, the creators have also been sharing behind-the-scenes insights through a series titled "The Legacy of The Raja Saab." In the third episode, director Maruthi opened up about Prabhas' character, hinting at a performance that will leave a lasting impression.
Maruthi noted that while Telugu audiences have seen the 'Rebel Star' in many entertaining roles, this particular portrayal will feel fresh and new for his pan-India fanbase. He emphasized that the film, which blends horror with comedy, required immense dedication and hard work from the entire team, especially Prabhas.
"The make-up, hair, the way he talks. There is this innate swag in him, in the way he sits and stands… the detailing he gave when he sits on the chair. You will enjoy it very much. Wait and watch," Maruthi revealed, promising that audiences will remember Prabhas' look and performance from this film for a long time.
Star-Studded Cast and Pan-India Release
'The Raja Saab' boasts a powerful ensemble cast that extends beyond Prabhas. The film features veteran Bollywood actors Sanjay Dutt and Boman Irani in pivotal roles, adding further weight to the project. This strategic casting underscores the film's aim to appeal to a nationwide audience.
True to its pan-India vision, the movie is scheduled for a multi-language release on January 9, 2026. The combination of Prabhas' star power, a popular director, a remixed classic song, and a blend of horror-comedy genres has positioned 'The Raja Saab' as one of the most awaited releases of the coming year.
