Maruthi’s horror-comedy The RajaSaab, starring Prabhas, has sailed through CBFC certification with a UA 16+ rating just in time for its Sankranthi release. After some tweaks to tone down the gore, the film clocks in at a hefty 3 hours and 9 minutes. Get ready for supernatural scares and laughs hitting theaters on January 9, 2026.
Oh, darlings, the tea is piping hot from Tollywood! Prabhas' latest, The RajaSaab, directed by Maruthi, just got the green light from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a UA 16+ certificate. We're talking a runtime of 189 minutes—yes, over three hours of haunted hilarity and family drama. But it wasn't all smooth sailing; the makers had to make some cuts to keep things from getting too bloody.
Back on December 24, 2025, the CBFC flagged a 35-second scene of blood washing across the floor—yikes! The team cleverly switched it to monochrome to dial back the gore. They also axed a quick 4-second flash of head-cutting visuals because, well, nobody needs that nightmare fuel unfiltered. Plus, tweaks to the audio description (AD) and closed captioning (CC) were required to seal the deal.
This spooky tale follows a young man inheriting an ancestral property that's straight-up haunted by past secrets. Expect chills, chuckles, and a dash of emotional depth exploring legacy, greed, and courage—Prabhas bringing that intense yet charming vibe, of course. Joining the Rebel Star are heavy-hitters like Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Zarina Wahab.
Box office buzz? It's clashing big time with Vijay’s final flick Jana Nayagan, Sivakarthikeyan's Parasakthi, Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, plus Naveen Polishetty's Anaganaga Oka Raju and Sharwanand’s Nari Nari Naduma Murari around Sankranthi. Talk about a festival showdown! 🔥
So, will The RajaSaab haunt the charts or get lost in the crowd? Eyes peeled, gossip fam.
