Amidst a diverse line-up of action and sci-fi projects, Prabhas’ upcoming film with director Maruthi holds the promise of a quick return to his roots in light-hearted cinema. While “Salaar” recently hit theaters and “Project K” gears up for its May release, “Raja Saab” is expected to offer a different flavor within Prabhas’ filmography.
Though initially slated for a swift completion, the film, reported to be an entertainer with thriller elements, seems to be taking its time. However, excitement is brewing with the confirmed reveal of the first look poster and title on January 14th. Sources suggest “Raja Saab” is the frontrunner among proposed names like “Raja Deluxe,” “Royal,” and “Ambassador.”
This shift might come as a surprise to those accustomed to Prabhas’ recent ventures into high-octane action and ambitious experiments. Fans have expressed a growing desire to see the “Darling,” “Bujjigadu,” and “Mr. Perfect” era Prabhas return, showcasing his comedic timing and energetic charm. Maruthi, known for his knack for creating lighthearted entertainers, seems like the perfect partner to channel this nostalgia.
Adding to the optimism are reports of the team’s satisfaction with the project so far. Sanjay Dutt’s presence in a key role further piques interest, and Prabhas is expected to dedicate more time to “Raja Saab” after wrapping up his commitments to “Kalki 2898 AD.” Malavika Mohanan graces the lead female role, while People Media Factory bankrolls the project.
Despite lingering negativity from some sections of Prabhas’ fanbase, leaked stills from the film have reportedly generated positive buzz. The official announcement remains awaited, but “Raja Saab” stands poised to offer a refreshing counterpoint to Prabhas’ current cinematic trajectory. Whether it successfully revives his comedic prowess and satisfies nostalgic audience expectations remains to be seen, but the anticipation for this venture is undeniable.
