People Media Factory marked Boman Irani’s birthday on December 2, 2025, with a striking surprise—an intense and atmospheric first-look poster from the upcoming Telugu horror-comedy The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas and directed by Maruthi. And if the poster is anything to go by, Irani is stepping into one of his most intriguing roles yet.
The celebratory post hailed him as “the one who examines the unseen… deciphers the mind… and stands between reality and the unexplained,” hinting at a character steeped in secrets, intellect, and supernatural tension. The birthday wishes were accompanied by a star-studded list of tags—from Prabhas and Sanjay Dutt to the technical crew—underscoring the film’s massive ensemble and pan-Indian ambition.
The poster itself sets the tone: Boman Irani appears as a scholarly, enigmatic figure standing in a dimly lit library. Shadows stretch across towering bookshelves, the warm glow of a vintage lamp flickers beside him, and in his hand rests a polished cane—an accessory that feels equal parts authority and enigma. The imagery suggests a character who guards forbidden knowledge, someone capable of reading minds, symbols, and perhaps even spirits.
Reportedly playing a key antagonist alongside Sanjay Dutt, Irani’s presence injects Bollywood gravitas into what is shaping up to be a genre-blending entertainer. Trailers and early glimpses from The Raja Saab tease supernatural twists, eerie comedy, and mind-bending moments that veer from quirky to chilling. With Prabhas leading the narrative and Maruthi steering a horror-comedy—his favorite playground—expect tonal surprises and high-energy theatrics.
Slated for a January 9, 2026 release, The Raja Saab is already building momentum among fans of Prabhas, Telugu cinema, and supernatural fun alike. And Boman Irani’s eerie, intellectual aura in the first-look poster only heightens the excitement—suggesting that he may be the one pulling the unseen strings in this eerie spectacle.
