Hyderabad Erupts as RebelSaab Makes a Power Packed Entry for The RajaSaab

Hyderabad turned into a buzzing carnival on Sunday evening as fans poured into the open grounds for the highly anticipated live launch of RebelSaab, the first song from Prabhas’ upcoming horror comedy The RajaSaab. The energy in the air felt almost electric, the kind of atmosphere where people forget the clock and simply surrender to the moment. By the time the giant screens lit up, the cheering was loud enough to drown out the sound of the speakers.

RebelSaab is more than just a song release for Prabhas fans. It is a sign of fresh beginnings. After years of watching the superstar dive into massive action universes, audiences finally get to see him unwind and dance in a playful role again. The RajaSaab is set for release on January 9, 2026, but judging from the buzz at the launch, many fans already consider it one of their most awaited releases of the coming year.

Speaking with fans on the ground, the enthusiasm was almost contagious. A young college student named Suresh said, "I have watched Prabhas since Darling and Mirchi. This song brings back that vibe. He looks relaxed and confident, and the beats are amazing." Another fan, Ananya, who had travelled from Vijayawada for the event, added, "I just wanted to be here. It feels like Prabhas is returning to his roots."

The venue was decorated with vibrant lighting that reflected the festival theme of the song. RebelSaab dropped in multiple languages, making sure fans across regions could celebrate at the same time. As soon as the Telugu version played, a wave of excitement swept the crowd. People started recording, dancing, and yelling the chorus as if they had already memorised it.

Composer Thaman, known for his ability to turn even simple melodies into mass anthems, seems to have struck gold once again. The song carries a lively rhythm that blends folk elements with modern beats. At the launch, Thaman looked thrilled with the response. When asked about the making of the track, he said, "We wanted something that would capture Prabhas’ presence without overdoing it. A tune that feels natural to him. The moment he heard it, he smiled. That is how we knew it worked."

The music video features Prabhas in a festive setup, dancing amid colourful crowds and traditional celebrations. There is an unmistakable nostalgia in his moves, reminding fans of his earlier hits. Actress Nidhhi Agerwal, who stars in the film, praised the song too. She shared her thoughts after the launch, saying, "RebelSaab has a very cool flavour. Prabhas sir brings so much charm to it. I feel audiences will enjoy this version of him."

Malavika Mohanan, who also plays a key role in The RajaSaab, echoed a similar sentiment. She said, "The simplicity of the track is its strength. It is energetic and fun without feeling forced. I think it compliments the tone of the film."

Not everything went smoothly, though. A minor glitch during the premiere caused a brief delay, leaving the crowd confused for a few minutes. But once the video resumed, the cheers returned even louder. Some listeners online pointed out that the lyrics felt slightly weak compared to the powerful music, but the overall reaction remained overwhelmingly positive.

What makes RebelSaab stand out is the emotional connection fans have been craving. After a string of massive action films where Prabhas carried intense roles and heavy storylines, this lighter and more playful song feels refreshing. Many fans believe this shift will help the actor reconnect with audiences who loved his earlier romantic and family oriented performances.

Film analysts also see RebelSaab as a strong promotional move. The RajaSaab combines elements of comedy, romance, and supernatural tension, a mix that hasn't been explored often in big Telugu productions recently. Releasing a groovy, colourful number as the first promotional piece sets the tone for a film that aims to entertain without feeling too heavy.

As the night wrapped up and fans slowly made their way out of the venue, the excitement showed no signs of fading. Groups continued singing the hook line, some even attempting to copy Prabhas’ dance steps. Drivers honked to the rhythm of the song while riding away. The vibe was clear. RebelSaab had achieved exactly what a first song launch hopes for. It created noise, built anticipation, and reminded everyone that Prabhas still knows how to charm the masses.

The success of this launch is likely to push the makers of The RajaSaab to roll out more promotional material in the coming months. If the remaining songs and teaser follow the same energy, the film might shape up to be one of the most talked about releases of early 2026.

For now, RebelSaab stands as a powerful start. A celebration. A promise. And a reminder that sometimes, all it takes is one good song to turn a normal evening in Hyderabad into a festival.
