Massive Fan Turnout at Hyderabad Pre-Release Event
The grand pre-release event of Prabhas’ upcoming horror-comedy The Raja Saab took place at Kaithalapur Grounds in Hyderabad this Saturday. Thousands of fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the Rebel Star, turning the venue into a sea of excitement and loud chants.
Prabhas made a rare public appearance, and fans welcomed him with emotional tributes. The event showcased a “vintage Prabhas,” bringing back his charming, humorous, and energetic side. Many fans said they missed this version of the actor in his recent action-heavy films. The team also confirmed that the film will release during Sankranthi on January 9, 2026.
Prabhas and Suma Kanakala’s Fun Interaction Goes Viral
One of the biggest highlights of the evening was Prabhas’ fun interaction with celebrity anchor Suma Kanakala. Known for her sharp humor, Suma asked Prabhas about his marriage plans. The actor responded with a joke about his single status, blaming his busy schedule and his directors for delaying marriage.
During a rapid-fire round, Prabhas teased his directors and shared lighthearted moments that fans had not seen in years. He also praised Sanjay Dutt, who plays an important role in the film. Prabhas said Sanjay’s screen presence was so powerful that he often forgot his own scenes while watching the dubbing.
Emotional Moment as Director Maruthi Breaks Down on Stage
The most emotional moment came when director Maruthi addressed the audience. He became emotional while speaking about the last three years of work, which included online trolling and intense pressure to complete the film. Maruthi thanked Prabhas for trusting him when many doubted their collaboration.
In a touching gesture, Prabhas walked up and hugged the director, earning loud applause from the crowd. Maruthi then made a bold statement, saying that if even 1% of the audience felt disappointed, they could come and question him directly. He publicly shared his home address to show his confidence in the film’s climax and entertainment value.
SRK Comparison and Nationwide Buzz Around the Film
The event also fueled discussions about the “SRK connection” in The Raja Saab. Since the teaser release, fans have compared Prabhas’ romantic gesture to Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic style. The makers highlighted that Prabhas’ humorous side is well-known among Telugu fans, but audiences across India are about to see it for the first time.
From a young fan becoming an internet sensation to the record-breaking crowd, the pre-release event created massive buzz. With strong fan support and growing nationwide interest, The Raja Saab is now set for a major box-office clash this January.
