There is just no stopping Prabhas! After the massive global success of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, the "Rebel Star" has proven once again that he is the undisputed king of the box office, especially in North America.
His upcoming movie, The Raja Saab, a comedy-horror flick directed by Maruthi, is already making headlines months before its release. In a stunning development, the North American theatrical rights for the film have been sold for a whopping USD 10 million. This incredible deal makes it the second-highest ever for a Prabhas starrer in the region, right behind his blockbuster Kalki 2898 AD.
Breaking Records Trend
This massive deal proves just how much pull Prabhas has with audiences overseas. For context, his last release, Kalki 2898 AD, raked in USD 18.57 million in North America. That movie currently stands as the second-biggest Telugu grosser in the region, second only to Baahubali 2, which sits comfortably at the top with an unbeatable USD 22 million.
Prabhas is truly dominating the charts in North America, holding four spots in the top 15 all-time grossers list, including Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire (USD 8.94 million) and Baahubali: The Beginning (USD 8.48 million).
Star-Studded Cast and Big Numbers
With such a solid track record, expectations for The Raja Saab are through the roof. Fans are excited to see Prabhas in a fresh dual role, moving away from his usual serious, action-packed avatars seen in Salaar and Saaho.
Adding to the excitement is a stellar cast featuring Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, and Riddhi Kumar. The buzz is real back home in India too—the Hindi distribution rights have reportedly fetched an impressive Rs 75 crore, while OTT rights have already crossed the Rs 100 crore mark.
Mark Your Calendars!
If you are in North America, get ready! The film is set to hit theaters on January 9, 2026. But in true blockbuster style, premieres will happen a day early, on January 8, across hundreds of locations.
Here is the best part: you won't have to wait long to book your seats. To make the most of Prabhas's huge fanbase, advance bookings will open on December 4. That gives the movie more than a month to build up even more hype!
The Big Clash: Prabhas vs Vijay
However, it won't be a solo ride for The Raja Saab. January 9 is turning out to be one of the busiest dates of the year. Prabhas will face stiff competition from Thalapathy Vijay’s final film, Jana Nayagan. Co-starring Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol, Vijay's film is also seeing huge demand, with its North American rights sold for a solid USD 7.5 million. It’s going to be an epic box office battle!
What’s Next for Prabhas?
While fans eagerly wait for The Raja Saab, Prabhas is already busy with his next big projects. He is gearing up for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, co-starring Triptii Dimri, which kicks off filming in November. He is also tied up with Hanu Raghavapudi's Fauji, which will now be released in two parts.
Stay tuned for more updates on this box office giant!
