The Raja Saab Update: Director Maruthi Teases Exciting News for Eager Prabhas Fans

Fans of Prabhas have been eagerly waiting for updates on his upcoming horror-comedy film The Raja Saab. The buzz around the film increased recently when director Maruthi visited the famous Tirupathi and Srikalahasthi temples to seek blessings.

He shared photos from the visit on social media, prompting fans to demand information about the movie.

Though Maruthi didn’t give away too much, he assured fans that exciting updates were on the way.

Maruthi Speaks Out on Delay

Responding to the fan outpour online, Maruthi addressed the delay and provided insight into the current status of the film. He emphasized that the team is working hard to meet audience expectations.

He mentioned that the film involves significant VFX work and that they are currently evaluating the final output.

Maruthi explained that once all post-production aspects are finalized, the makers will announce the official release date. He added that several external factors are involved, making it difficult to make immediate decisions.

Produced by People Media Factory, The Raja Saab was initially slated for an April release but has been postponed.

The film stars Prabhas in the lead, with Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt playing a major role.

Nidhhi Agerwal and Malavika Mohanan are the female leads. Since the movie leans heavily on VFX due to its horror-comedy genre, the team is taking additional time to ensure perfection.

Fans Express Concerns on Social Media

After the director’s temple photos surfaced, fans flooded his social media with questions.

One fan tweeted, “Take Your Time and release #Rajasaab whenever You’re satisfied with the product. Just give official info through media that it’ll come in November or next year or whenever. Fans will not bother You.”

Maruthi responded by saying, “To give the accurate info @peoplemediafcy on that job. Expecting CG output soon. Once those are verified, makers will announce the release date. Many external things will involve in this process. It’s not a one-man word or work, so things will take time. Be lil patient, everyone is giving their best to match your expectations.”

Another user added, “These are the things we at least wanted to get. Of course, every project is not in one hand but being online and you know what fans’ emotions are… Updating the shooting process or these informations will make better feels. Can’t say anything more than WAITING for Next. Hopefully, Soon.”

To this, Maruthi explained, “We are left with a little talkie part and songs. Many CGI studios are involved in our film. So far, the output received from a few studios is exciting. Expecting the same from other studios. If songs shoot will complete, singles also will entertain you. I am also waiting to show you guys our hard work.”
