‘The Raja Saab’ – Grand Preview Event !!
“We made ‘The Raja Saab’ to provide the best entertainment to the darling fans. After watching the climax of this film, I have become a fan of Maruthi’s writing skills. Along with all the films releasing this Sankranthi, ‘The Raja Saab’ should also be a huge success.” – Rebel Star Prabhas
The grand preview event of the film ‘The Raja Saab’, the biggest film starring Rebel Star Prabhas, was held in Hyderabad yesterday. All the actors, technicians and producers who attended the event shared their experiences and happiness about the film.
‘The Raja Saab’ starring Rebel Star Prabhas is a highly anticipated film. Director Maruthi has made this film an evergreen film in the horror-comedy genre. Producers D.G. Vishwa Prasad and Krithi Prasad have produced the film on a grand scale. Malavika Mohanan, Nithi Agarwal and Rithi Kumar are playing the female leads. Making the Sankranti festival a double celebration, ‘The Raja Saab’ will be released in theatres worldwide on January 9.
Actor Mahesh Achanta said:
“The Raja Saab is the first film I will act in in 2026. My heartfelt thanks to Maruti for giving me this opportunity.
Prabhas Anna gifted me a T-shirt. That alone makes me very happy. I am forever indebted to him and People Media Factory. If you look at the crowd of fans who came for this event, you can understand how big Prabhas’ fan base is.”
Lyricist Kasarla Shyam said:
“I have written a song for Prabhas sir for the first time. The song will be released soon as a surprise. Fans are eagerly waiting to see the song where Prabhas dances with three heroines. I am also waiting with them.”
Actress Zarina Wahab said:
“I have been in the film industry for the last 40 years. My heartfelt thanks to People Media Factory and Maruti Cars for giving me the opportunity to act in a good film like ‘The Raja Saab’ in Telugu. The entire team gave me complete support in this film. I have many scenes with Prabhas in this film. I have acted with many actors. But I have never seen a person with a good heart like Prabhas. It is a great honor for me to act with him in this film.”
Actor Rohit said:
“I am from Bollywood. It took me an hour to make a U-turn near the venue of this event. I have never seen such a huge crowd of fans in my life. My greetings to the Rebel fans. Acting in Prabhas’s ‘The Raja Saab’ will be a big help in the career of actors like me.”
Actor Saptagiri said:
“I acted with Prabhas in the film ‘Saalaar’. As soon as I saw the intermission scene of that film, I said, ‘This film will collect 2000 crores’ — and it really happened. Now I have seen the trailer of ‘The Raja Saab’ on the producer’s phone. It is on a different level. This film will definitely collect 2000 crores. Maruthi sir, you have shown the old style Prabhas in this film that we all wanted to see. The way he appears with a flower in his hand, in a romantic look — something that we will not see for many years to come. Because he is only doing action films now. In this film, Prabhas will make us laugh more than all of us.
Like you, I also came to this event today to see Prabhas.”
North Indian distributor Anil Thadani said:
“My heartfelt congratulations to Maruti and Vishwa Prasad for the huge success of ‘The Raja Saab’. Prabhas is like a brother to me. He deserves all your love. I am very happy to see such a large gathering of Prabhas fans.”
Actor VTV Ganesh said:
“The reason I am standing on this stage today is because of actor Vijay and director Nelson. Because of the opportunity they gave me, the line I spoke in the film ‘Beast’ – ‘Yaruda nee atta talenta iruka?’ became very famous. That single line gave me a huge identity. Saptagiri often tells me – ‘Even though you have acted in many films, the fame that one line gave me has not given me anything else.’
I worked for 55 days on ‘The Raja Saab’. The experience of acting with Prabhas is an unforgettable one in my life. This film will be a huge success.”
Creative Producer SKN said:
“The production work for ‘The Raja Saab’ began in 2021 itself. After deciding on this film, a film directed by Maruti became as successful as expected.
At that time, Maruti went to Prabhas’ house. After coming out of there, the only thing he said to me was —
‘I am going to think about “Raja Saab” for the next two to three years of my life.’ I asked, ‘What happened?’ Then he said — ‘If that film doesn’t succeed, what is my fault? We are going to make a film; we will focus on that.’ He said that Prabhas had said that.
Prabhas is never one to go back on his word. Nothing I did for this film was a big deal; it was just a squirrel helping. Prabhas has always been a man without any deceit or hypocrisy. Cinema is his life.
When the shooting was in Europe, he took a villa for the entire team, hired a personal chef and arranged Telugu food for everyone. How can we not talk about such a good man?
This Sankranthi, we are going to watch a 3-hour and 10-minute mass entertainer in the theatres. Every Sankranthi, we bet on a rooster; this time, we are going to bet on a dinosaur. We are all going to celebrate this festival together.”
Actress Rithi Kumar said:
“‘The Raja Saab’ is a complete entertainer. Prabhas is our darling. In this film, Maruthi sir, he has really shown us the same. You can see all the good qualities of Prabhas in this film. You will love him even more after watching this film. Everyone, enjoy ‘The Raja Saab’, which will be released in theatres on January 9.”
Actress Malavika Mohanan said:
“I have immense respect and love for the Telugu film industry. I never dreamed that I would make my debut in Tollywood with a pan-India star like Prabhas, through a mega film like ‘The Raja Saab’. For the fans, Prabhas is a ‘Rebel Star’, a ‘Rebel God’. But for all of us, he is ‘Raja Saab’. He is a true star with a good heart.
I have played the role of ‘Bhairavi’ in this film. Usually, heroines only get romantic scenes and songs. But in this film, Maruthi sir gave me the opportunity to do romance, comedy and action. ‘The Raja Saab’ will be a film full of all the features that the audience expects. You will definitely enjoy this film in the theatres.”
Actress Nidhi Agarwal said:
“It is like a dream come true for me to act with India’s biggest star Prabhas. Words cannot express how good a person he is. I sincerely wish that he continues to receive all your love and support. Hitting a six on the street and hitting a six in the stadium are different things. Prabhas has that kind of range.
My heartfelt thanks to Maruti sir for giving me the opportunity to act in ‘The Raja Saab’. It was a very happy experience to work with Saptagiri, VTV Ganesh and everyone. Working with my co-stars Malavika and Rithi will be an unforgettable memory. Producer Vishwa Prasad Kar and Creative Producer SKN also supported us a lot. The songs composed by Thaman have added extra strength to the film. Everyone celebrate ‘The Raja Saab’ in the theatres.”
Director Maruti said:
“If I am standing on this stage today, it is because of the support you all have given me. There are two people who have stood firmly behind ‘The Raja Saab’ — Prabhas and Vishwa Prasad. Vishwa Prasad Kar and the People Media team have given their lives for this film.
When Prabhas was acting in ‘Aadipurush’, I went to tell him the story of ‘The Raja Saab’. He laughed with great enthusiasm after hearing the story. In fact, he did not need to do this film. Prabhas has gained global recognition after ‘Baahubali’. Even when the shooting took place in a small town in South Africa, people there recognized him. That is how much the pan-India wave created by Rajamouli sir is benefiting us.
Today, directors like Sukumar and Sandeep Vanga are all directing pan-India films. Similarly, we have also made ‘The Raja Saab’ on a grand scale. This film was not an easy one. Many people have worked hard for this.
I have directed 11 films so far. But Prabhas Karu thought of making me a big director and included me in ‘Rebel University’. Although I directed this film, the real source of this is Prabhas. The dedication, hard work, and time he put into this film – all of this cannot be expressed in words.
I was moved to tears as I watched every scene in this film, even after the background music was added.
