Movie Desk: The Prabhas The Raja Saab overseas craze has officially begun, and trade circles are stunned by the response.
After years of seeing Prabhas as the intense warrior in Baahubali, Salaar, and Kalki 2898 AD, fans have been yearning to see the fun, charming side of their Darling.
Now, The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi, is set to bring that vintage Prabhas magic back.
In an unprecedented move, North American exhibitors opened bookings a full month ahead from December 4th proving once again the unmatched stardom of Prabhas.
What’s striking is that this hype isn’t for a massive VFX-heavy spectacle, but for a fun horror-comedy entertainer with an emotional touch.
Director Maruthi, known for his impeccable comic timing and stylish portrayal of heroes, seems to have crafted a role that perfectly blends Prabhas humor, charm, and mass appeal.
Overseas audiences are already calling this the comeback of “Vintage Prabhas,” and early indicators suggest record-breaking premieres across the US and Canada.
This project also marks a smart balancing act in Prabhas career. After back-to-back serious roles, The Raja Saab provides a refreshing break before his next intense action film, Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
The contrast between the two projects highlights Prabhas versatility from playful charm to raw intensity.
The early buzz from the US box office points toward massive openings, with fans comparing the craze to Baahubali 2 days.
The difference this time? No swords, no wars just Prabhas infectious smile and Maruthi’s signature humor doing the magic.
With The Raja Saab releasing worldwide on January 9, 2026, trade experts predict one of the strongest openings for a Telugu film in North America.
Looks like Darling Prabhas is all set to conquer hearts and box offices once again this time with laughter instead of battle cries.
