Prabhas has recently achieved remarkable success with back-to-back box office hits, “Salaar” and “Kalki 2898 AD,” which collectively grossed around Rs 1500 crore. This impressive run has delighted his fans, but it has also led to some concerns about his upcoming project with director Maruthi, titled “Raja Saab.”
While Prabhas’s collaborations with acclaimed directors Nag Ashwin and Prashanth Neel have proven to be highly lucrative, the same confidence does not seem to extend to his film with Maruthi. Fans are skeptical about “Raja Saab,” fearing it may not live up to the high standards set by Prabhas’s recent releases.
“Raja Saab,” a horror-comedy, is a significant departure from the grand scale and intense action of “Salaar” and “Kalki 2898 AD.” The film, produced by T.G. Vishwa Prasad and Vivek Kuchibotla under People Media Factory, features a star-studded cast including Prabhas, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, and Malavika Mohanan.
Despite the talented lineup, fans are concerned that the film may not provide the same level of excitement and box office success as Prabhas’s previous projects.
Maruthi, known for his work on films like “Prema Katha Chitram” and “Prati Roju Pandage,” has acknowledged the skepticism but remains undeterred. He has expressed that the doubts and criticisms fuel his determination to deliver a successful film. The director’s enthusiasm and confidence are evident, but only time will tell if “Raja Saab” can meet the high expectations of Prabhas’s fanbase.
The release of “Raja Saab” comes on the heels of “Kalki 2898 AD,” which has become the second biggest hit of Prabhas’s career after “Baahubali 2.” Fans are anxious about the potential impact of “Raja Saab” on Prabhas’s winning streak, especially considering the significant delays in its production.
As the film industry and fans eagerly await the release of “Raja Saab,” the pressure is on for Maruthi and Prabhas to deliver a film that can stand alongside the actor’s recent successes. Whether “Raja Saab” will prove the doubters wrong and continue Prabhas’s box office dominance remains to be seen.
