— Director Maruthi (@DirectorMaruthi) April 8, 2025About The Raja SaabDirected by Maruthi, The Raja Saab promises an exciting blend of spooky thrills and hearty laughs. Prabhas plays a man drawn back to his ancestral property, only to discover a vengeful spirit lurking in the shadows. Following the monumental success of Kalki 2898 AD, Prabhas embraces a new persona—mischievous, quirky, and ghostly—offering a refreshing change from his usual intense roles.
His vintage avatar in this film will likely strike a nostalgic chord with fans who cherished his early work. Produced by TG Vishwa Prasad under the People Media Factory banner, The Raja Saab features music by Thaman S and will release in five languages: Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam..
