The issue of changing release dates has become a big concern in Tollywood. As Telugu cinema reaches global standards, filmmakers are spending more time and money to ensure quality. Because of this, many films are getting delayed after announcing early release dates. One such film is The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi and starring pan-India superstar Prabhas. The film was supposed to release earlier this year, but due to delays in shooting, the makers finally confirmed December 5 as the release date.
However, rumours have recently surfaced suggesting Raja Saab may be postponed again. This has made Prabhas fans anxious, especially as the film has already been delayed multiple times. Despite the buzz, sources close to the production say there is no change in plans, and fans can relax.
Missing the December 5 date would mean shifting to Sankranti, but many other big films are already lined up for release during that festival. Competing with multiple releases could affect box office collections, even if Raja Saab is a blockbuster. So, the team is determined to stick with the solo release on December 5.
Interestingly, this date also holds a positive sentiment. Past hits like Pushpa 2 and Animal were released on December 5 and performed exceptionally well. The makers hope to continue that winning streak with Raja Saab.
While Ranveer Singh’s Durandhar is also releasing on the same day, it’s not expected to pose a serious threat. So, fans can look forward to seeing Raja Saab in cinemas on December 5 without any more worries.
