Rebel Star Clashes With Vijay On January 9th

Sankranti next year is shaping up as a real battle for film fans. Superstar Prabhas’ Raja Saab, delayed because of pending shoots and post-production work, is finally set to release on January 9. Fans are excited to see him back on the big screen, despite the wait. TG Vishwaprasad of People’s Media Factory confirmed the date, and anticipation is running high across Telugu states.

But Prabhas won’t have the screen to himself. On the same day, Vijay’s Jana Nayagan, said to be his last film before entering politics, hits theatres in Tamil Nadu. Fans from both camps are already hyped, calling it a Tollywood vs. Kollywood showdown. Social media is full of debates, predictions, and memes, with everyone eager to see who will dominate the box office.

For Prabhas, the challenge is clear. He has a massive following in Tamil Nadu after Baahubali 2, but Vijay’s fans are fiercely loyal and have been waiting months for his new release. Both stars carry huge weight in their industries, making January 9 a key date for box office bragging rights.

Industry watchers are curious about the numbers. Will Raja Saab hold up against Vijay in Tamil Nadu? Can Vijay match the craze of Prabhas in Telugu states? Fans are treating it like more than a release, it's a festival of cinema, hype, and fandom. January 9 promises action on screens and a battle for box office supremacy.
