The anticipation for the Telugu horror-comedy The Raja Saab, which is to be released soon, was heightened on December 27, 2025, when the new character poster of actress Malavika Mohanan in her character as Bhairavi was revealed by the film’s makers. This announcement represents a significant marketing step for the movie that includes pan-India giant Prabhas as its leading actor and is expected to come out on January 9, 2026, during the festive Sankranti season. The poster’s mystique and Malavika’s enchanting representation have rekindled interest amongst spectators and have therefore contributed to the hype that has already started around the movie’s cross-genre script.
Malavika Mohanan’s Bhairavi: Intrigue and Style
The recently unveiled poster depicts Malavika Mohanan’s Bhairavi as a character full of enigmas and charisma. She looks serene and perplexing wrapped in a transparent black saree, together with big accessories and fashionable sunglasses, in front of which there is an empty hallway that implies ghostly elements. The poster’s visual language is limited yet suggestive-it indicates a prominent place for Bhairavi in the film’s horror-comedy plot, where she plays with light and dark, and the latter is in the form of unease. The poster not only presents Malavika but also makes her character’s story arc important, hence increasing the excitement of the audience about her involvement in the mystical unraveling of the plot.
