About The RajaSaab

Apart from Prabhas, The Raja Saab also stars Sanjay Dutt, Zarina Wahab, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar, among others. Prabhas plays the role of Raja Saab, a man deeply bound to his grandmother, portrayed by Zarina. According to the trailer, Prabhas enters an abandoned haveli to search for answers, a space that holds the film's darkest secrets. But the house itself became a trap, turning the mind against the body.

Sanjay Dutt's hypnotist is a calm yet menacing force, using control and manipulation rather than brute strength to overpower those who enter his world. Boman Irani is a mysterious psychiatrist, hypnotist, and paranormal investigator, offering a grounded counterpoint to the supernatural elements.

Directed by Maruthi and produced by TG Vishwa Prasad under People Media Factory, The RajaSaab will release worldwide on January 9 in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. Sharing his experience of working on the film, Prabhas said in a press note, "The three years of stress and responsibility of RajaSaab brought tears to Maruthi garu's eyes. When I first met him, I told him that films were becoming too action-oriented and that we should give audiences a proper entertainer. That is how this horror-comedy took shape."

"Vishwa Prasad garu kept believing in Maruthi garu's script and supported it throughout. When I heard the climax, I became a fan of Maruthi garu's writing. I honestly wondered whether he wrote it with a pen or a machine gun. Such a climax hasn't come even in horror-comedy films. You must watch it and tell me. After 15 years, Maruthi is giving full Darling entertainment. The film is arriving this Sankranti. All Sankranti films should do well, and along with them, The RajaSaab should also become a blockbuster," he had added.
