Prabhas' horror-comedy film The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi, has seen some unexpected setbacks regarding its release.

Initially slated for an April 10 release, the makers are now exploring new dates, and there are indications that the film might face another delay.

Though the shooting has nearly been completed, the post-production work, especially visual effects, is still pending. The film, being in the horror genre, requires significant graphics, VFX, and CGI elements, and the team is keen on maintaining the highest quality standards.

Maruthi is known for completing his projects in a very fast manner, but with The Raja Saab being a big film starring Prabhas, he has had to approach it with extra caution, similar to directors like Sukumar or Rajamouli.

This is a significant project for Maruthi's career, and he wants to ensure that it delivers a high-quality output, even if it means a delay.

As a result, the previously planned release date of April 10 is now being reconsidered, with reports suggesting that the makers are looking at a new potential release date of July 18.

However, this date hasn't been confirmed yet, and the post-production work, particularly visual effects, might still require more time.

Given that Prabhas' films are usually released on a grand scale, expectations are sky-high among his fans. After previous delays with films like Adipurush, Salaar, and Kalki2898 AD, there's growing concern among fans whether The Raja Saab will also face a similar delay.

Reports also suggest that Prabhas might need another two weeks to shoot some crucial scenes. The focus is now on ensuring that the visual effects meet the highest standards before the film is released.

The makers are reportedly taking their time to enhance the film's quality rather than rushing it out for a quick release.

It remains to be seen when the makers will officially announce a confirmed release date for The Raja Saab.
