The team of The Raja Saab, excluding Prabhas, interacted with the media on Wednesday night at the film’s sets on the outskirts of Hyderabad. Producer TG Vishwa Prasad, director Maruthi, music director S Thaman, and lead actors Niddhi Agerwal and Riddhi Kumar were present at the event, offering insights into the scale and journey of the film.
Speaking about the project, TG Vishwa Prasad reflected on how the film has evolved over time. “Our journey with The Raja Saab began nearly three years ago. We initially started it as a horror comedy, but as the process went on, it transformed into a large-scale horror fantasy with massive sets,” he said, adding that such a scale of fantasy has rarely been attempted in Indian cinema.
Highlighting the film’s genre blend, the producer said that The Raja Saab strikes a balance between horror, comedy, romance, action, and emotion. “The buzz in the Telugu states has been phenomenal. For the past year, there has been constant curiosity around this film,” he noted. On the business front, he revealed that the film will be released across nearly 3,800 to 4,500 screens in North India and Karnataka combined. “We are expecting over ₹100 crore in global collections on Day 1,” he stated confidently.
Music director S Thaman also spoke about the much-discussed remix of the song 'Naache Naache'. “Usually, I’m not a big fan of remix songs. But this wasn’t a last-minute idea—it was part of the script from the beginning,” he explained. According to Thaman, the remix organically fits the narrative. “As a composer, I always wanted to create a mass number featuring the lead actor along with the three female leads. In The Raja Saab, this song perfectly suits the situation and has come out really well,” he added.
With expectations soaring and promotions in full swing, The Raja Saab is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated big-ticket releases of the season.
