A Fresh Take for Prabhas š„
After a series of fantasy dramas and massive action thrillers, Prabhas is set to showcase a different side of himself in Maruthi's latest project. Fans are curious if Maruthi is bringing back the charming 'Darling' of yesteryears or planning another visual spectacle. The teaser for "Raja Saab" has finally given us some clarity on what to expect.
Return to Simpler Times š
Post-Baahubali, directors have largely steered Prabhas towards larger-than-life characters and high-budget action films, almost making us forget his earlier, more romantic roles. Though he did briefly appear as a lover boy in "Radhe Shyam," that film too was heavy on visual effects.
Balancing Big Budgets and Simplicity š°
With films like "Saaho," "Adipurush," "Salaar," and "Kalki," all having budgets in the hundreds of crores, Prabhas sought a bit of a breather with a smaller-scale movie. Enter Maruthi with "Raja Saab," which, though considered a 'smaller' film, still boasts a budget of ā¹200 crores, produced by People Media Factory.
A New Look and Genre Confirmation š
Despite recent flops like "Manchi Rojuochaayi" and "Pakka Commercial," Prabhas has placed his trust in Maruthi. The director aims to show Prabhas in a never-before-seen avatar. The recently released teaser glimpses reveal Prabhas in a vintage 'Darling' look, stirring excitement among fans.
Horror Comedy and Release Date šļø
Rumored to be a horror-comedy, the genre was confirmed in the teaser, along with the release date set for April 10, 2025. With over half of the shoot completed, "Raja Saab" stars Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Nidhi Agerwal as the female leads.
