Prabhas‘ upcoming horror comedy The Raja Saab reportedly has a runtime of over 3 hours. This is huge news for movie fans who are already excited about seeing the superstar in a completely new genre. If this runtime is confirmed, it will be one of the longest Indian films in recent years.
The buzz started when pre release bookings opened on a USA based ticketing portal. According to the booking page, The Raja Saab has a duration of 3 hours and 15 minutes. That is a massive runtime for any film. Cinema update pages on social media have been sharing screenshots of the portal, and fans are going crazy over this news. However, it is important to note that there has been no official confirmation from the makers yet.
The Runtime Will Be Confirmed After CBFC Certification
While the USA ticketing site lists the runtime as 3 hours 15 minutes, the official duration for India will only be confirmed after the CBFC certification process. This is the standard procedure for all films releasing in the country. The makers have kept most details about The Raja Saab under wraps, which has only increased the curiosity and excitement among audiences. Fans are eagerly waiting for an official announcement about the runtime and other details.
This development comes right after another major Bollywood film locked in a super long runtime. Ranveer Singh’s upcoming film Dhurandhar, which releases on December 5, 2025, has a confirmed runtime of 3 hours and 32 minutes. That makes it the longest film in 17 years since 2008’s Jodha Akbar. It looks like Indian cinema is entering a new era where filmmakers are not afraid to tell longer stories.
A New Genre For Prabhas
The Raja Saab is very special for Prabhas because it marks his entry into the horror comedy genre. The pan India superstar is known for his larger than life action films like Baahubali, Saaho, and Salaar. Seeing him in a completely different space is what makes this project so exciting for audiences across the country. The film is directed by Maruthi, who is considered a pioneer in the horror comedy genre in Telugu cinema.
The recently released trailer gives a glimpse of what to expect. It begins with Prabhas sitting in a hypnotist’s office while the classic Bappi Lahiri and Usha Uthup song Koi Yahan Nache Nache plays in the background. The trailer shows eerie creatures, a haunted mansion, and introduces Sanjay Dutt’s character as an exorcist, psychiatrist, and hypnotist. The trailer also hints at Prabhas playing a dual role, including an evil grandfather character.
