As collections dipped, director Maruthi addressed the backlash at a post-release event. He expressed disappointment over how easily years of creative effort can be dismissed. He explained that while audiences watched the film for a few hours, the team had invested nearly three years of work, stress, and learning into the project. He also suggested that viewers approaching the film in a festive mood may have missed its intended deeper narrative layers.
The film features an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Zarina Wahab. Produced by People Media Factory and IVY Entertainment, The Raja Saab faced multiple release delays due to extended VFX and post-production work. Unfortunately, despite the effort and scale, the film’s box office journey appears to be nearing an early end.
