Filmmakers with over-budgeted products are conjuring every possible gimmick to enhance their revenues. The makers of Prabhas’ The RajaSaab have come up with the idea of with-holding some scenes and a song on release date January 9, to be added after a few weeks.
An actor from the Raja Saab cast spilled the beans. “They are keeping aside some sequences. One is with Prabhas smoking a cigar, the other is a song, and a few other scenes.”
The cigar sequence has a censorial history of its own. Apparently, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) objected to a national icon setting the wrong example by smoking on screen. The RajaSaab makers had to convince the CBFC of how relevant Prabhas’ cigar-smoking sequence was to the narrative.
The producers intend to add footage of 7-8 minutes’ duration once the film gets a foothold over the footfalls. The film so far has attracted an underwhelming attention, especially the Hindi dubbed version which has sparked almost zero attention.
Explained trade expert Taran Adarsh, “The Hindi version of The RajaSaab may be witnessing muted ground-level buzz. The film is firmly on course for its scheduled release on 9 January 2026. The subdued hype can largely be attributed to limited promotional activity in the Hindi markets so far. As a result, awareness beyond the core fan base is yet to reach its full potential.”
