Further complicating matters, it has come to light that Prabhas suffered a sprained ankle while filming for another project. This injury, in conjunction with an incomplete shooting schedule for The Raja Saab, has led to the decision to delay the film’s release.

In addition to The Raja Saab, Prabhas’ highly anticipated film Kalki 2898 AD was set to premiere in Japan on December 18, 2024. However, Prabhas revealed that he would be unable to attend the premiere due to his ankle injury.
