What Prabhas earlier said about the film
Sharing his experience of working on the film, Prabhas had earlier said, as quoted by news agency ANI, “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 in a horror-comedy film.”
The Raja Saab stars Prabhas in the lead role, alongside Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, and Sanjay Dutt.
