Rebel Star Prabhas at the pre-release event

We made the film ‘The Raja Saab’ to give good entertainment to Darling’s fans. After watching this movie’s climax, I became a fan of Maruthi’s writing. Along with all the other Sankranti releases, I want ‘The Raja Saab’ also to become a blockbuster” – Rebel Star Prabhas at the pre-release event

Rebel Star Prabhas is starring in the prestigious movie “Raja Saab”. Director Maruthi is making this film in such a way that it stands as an evergreen movie in the horror-comedy genre. Producers TG Vishwa Prasad and Krithi Prasad are producing “Raja Saab” on a grand scale with uncompromising production values. Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar are playing the female leads. To double the Sankranti festivities, “Raja Saab” is getting ready for a worldwide grand theatrical release on January 9. Today, the pre-release event of “Raja Saab” was held grandly in Hyderabad. At this event

Actor Mahesh Achanta said, “The first movie in which I will be seen in 2026 is ‘The Raja Saab’. Director Maruthi garu gave me the opportunity to act in this film. Prabhas anna gifted me a T-shirt. I will always be indebted to both of them and to People Media Factory. Roads are overflowing with fans who came for this pre-release event. That is the kind of craze Prabhas garu has.”

Lyricist Kasarla Shyam said, “With ‘The Raja Saab’, I wrote a song for Prabhas garu for the first time. That song will be released soon like a surprise package. I am also eagerly waiting, along with you all, to watch Prabhas anna’s dance steps with three heroines on the big screen.”

Actress Zarina Wahab said, “I have been in the film industry for 40 years. People Media Factory and Maruthi garu gave me the opportunity to act in Telugu with a good film like ‘Tjr Raja Saab’. The entire team supported me throughout this film. I have many combination scenes with Prabhas garu. I have acted with many actors, but I have never seen a person with such a good heart like Prabhas. He always has my blessings.”

Actor Rohith said, “I came from Bollywood. It took me one hour just to take a U-turn near the road leading to this event. I have never seen so many fans gathering like this till now. My salute to all Rebel fans. Acting in Prabhas garu’s ‘Tjr Raja Saab’ will be very useful for the career of actors like me.”

Actor Saptagiri said, “I acted with Prabhas anna in the movie ‘Salaar’. After watching that film’s interval, I said it would collect 2000 crores, and that happened. I just watched the ‘The Raja Saab’ trailer on the producer’s phone a little while ago. The trailer is on another level. This film will also definitely collect 2000 crores. Director Maruthi garu has shown Prabhas anna in the vintage look that we all wanted to see. Seeing him holding flowers, appearing romantic and in a vintage style is something we may not see again for many years, because he is doing action films and concept-oriented films. In this movie, among all of us, Prabhas anna will make you laugh the most. Like you, I also came to this event just to watch Prabhas anna.”

North distributor Anil Thadani said, “I extend my best wishes to Maruthi garu and Vishwa Prasad garu for the grand success of ‘The Raja Saab’. Prabhas is like a brother to me. He truly deserves all your love. I am very happy to see such a huge number of Prabhas fans.”

Actor VTV Ganesh said, “The reason I am standing on this stage today is because of actor Vijay and director Nelson. With the opportunity they gave me, I delivered the dialogue ‘Evurra nuvvu intha talented ga unnava’ in the film ‘Beast’. That one dialogue became very popular and brought me recognition. Saptagiri often tells me that the recognition I got from that one dialogue did not come even after doing many films. I worked for 55 days on ‘The Raja Saab’. Acting with Prabhas garu gave me an unforgettable experience.”

Creative Producer SKN said, “Preparations for ‘Thr Raja Saab’ began in 2021. After deciding on this project, one of Maruthi’s films did not perform as expected. At that time, Maruthi went to Prabhas garu’s house. After coming out, Maruthi told me only one thing: ‘For the next two or three years of my career, my thoughts will be only about Raja Saab.’ I asked him what happened, and he said that Prabhas garu told him, ‘If that film doesn’t succeed, what is your fault in it? We are making a movie.’ Prabhas garu never says one thing and does another. Whatever little I did for this film is just a squirrel’s help. Prabhas garu is a person without any malice. He only knows cinema. While shooting in Europe, he took an entire villa, arranged a personal chef, and served us Telugu food. How can we not speak highly about such a good person? This Sankranti, we are going to watch a 3-hour and 10-minute mass entertainer in theatres. Every Sankranti we place bets on roosters; this time we will place bets on a dinosaur. We are coming for the festival and celebrating the festival.”

Heroine Riddhi Kumar said, “‘The Raja Saab’ is a perfect entertainer. Prabhas garu is Darling to all of us. Director Maruthi has shown him in this film exactly the way he is. You can see all the good qualities of Prabhas garu in this movie. After watching this film, you will like Prabhas garu even more. All of you will enjoy ‘The Raja Saab’ in theatres on January 9.”

Heroine Malavika Mohanan said, “I have love and respect for the Telugu film industry. I never imagined that I would enter Tollywood with a prestigious movie like ‘The Raja Saab’, acting alongside a pan-India star like Prabhas garu. For fans, Prabhas garu is Rebel Star, Rebel God. But for all of us, he is Raja Saab. He is a star with a good heart. I played the character Bhairavi in this movie. Usually, heroines get only romance and songs, but director Maruthi garu gave me the opportunity to do romance, songs, comedy, drama, and action as well. ‘The Raja Saab’, which has all the elements audiences want, will entertain everyone in theatres.”

Heroine Nidhhi Agerwal said, “Acting alongside India’s biggest superstar Prabhas garu feels like a dream come true. Words cannot express how good he is as a person. With all your love and support, Prabhas garu should achieve many more successes. There is a difference between hitting a six in a street and hitting it in a stadium. That is Prabhas garu’s range. Thanks to Maruthi garu for giving me the opportunity to act in ‘The Raja Saab’. Acting with Saptagiri, VTV Ganesh, and everyone else was a lot of fun. Working with my co-actors Malavika and Riddhi is unforgettable. Producer Vishwa Prasad garu and creative producer SKN supported us a lot. Thaman gave beautiful music. Let us all celebrate ‘The Raja Saab’ in theatres.”

Director Maruthi said, “The reason I am standing on this stage today is because of the support you have given me. Two people stood strongly behind ‘The Raja Saab’: Prabhas garu and Vishwa Prasad garu. Vishwa Prasad garu and the entire People Media team put their lives into this film. When Prabhas garu was acting as Rama in ‘Adipurush’, I went to him with the ‘Raja Saab’ story. After listening to it, Prabhas garu laughed a lot. He did not need to do this film. After ‘Baahubali’, Prabhas garu gained worldwide recognition. While we were shooting in a small town in South Africa, even the locals recognized Prabhas garu, which surprised us. The pan-India effort made by Rajamouli garu is benefiting all of us today. Directors like Sukumar, Sandeep Vanga, and I are doing pan-India films now. Many of our stars have reached pan-India status. With Prabhas garu, we did not just make a film; we made a large-scale movie.

This genre has great potential, and we are taking it to another level. Many people worked hard for ‘The Raja Saab’. I have made 11 films, and Prabhas garu gave me an opportunity at Rebel University, saying that I should become a director of a bigger range. I wrote and directed this film, but the effort Prabhas garu put into it, his involvement, and the support he gave us cannot be expressed in words. Even though many films are coming this Sankranti, Vishwa Prasad garu is bravely bringing ‘Raja Saab’. The success ‘The Raja Saab’ will achieve in all languages will not be ordinary. I watch my films like an audience member. After adding background score, while watching the scenes, tears came to my eyes. I became emotional watching Prabhas garu’s performance. I am forever indebted to him. I usually do not cry, but because of the love and support Prabhas garu gave me, I am emotional standing in front of him. If even one scene in this film disappoints any of you, I will give you my home address – come and meet me.”

Producer TG Vishwa Prasad said, “This is the biggest film we have made with the biggest star in People Media Factory. Many thought it was a small film, but we worked for three years to make ‘The Raja Saab’. As Maruthi garu said, this film will not disappoint even a single person. Globally, ‘The Raja Saab’ will be the biggest film in the horror-fantasy genre. I hope all of you will enjoy this movie.”

Rebel Star Prabhas said, “Hi to all my fans. Recently, when I met fans in Japan, I felt the same happiness. I came today with a new hairstyle for all of you. Anil Thadani is like a brother to me and supports my films in the North. When Sanjay Dutt garu appears in a close-up shot, he eats up the entire scene. This is a story of a grandmother and grandson. Zarina Wahab garu played my grandmother in this film. While she was dubbing, I forgot my own scenes and kept watching her scenes. I became a fan of her acting. Along with me, Zarina garu is also the hero of ‘Raja Saab’. Riddhi, Malavika, and Nidhhi are three beautiful heroines, and they will impress you with their performances and screen presence. One day I will give a speech on stage, and you will be shocked. The budget of this film increased from what we initially planned, but Vishwa Prasad garu still produced it boldly. The hero of ‘The Raja Saab’ is Vishwa Prasad garu. For a horror-fantasy film of this scale, only Thaman could do the music, and we entrusted the film to him. Our DOP Karthik garu shot the film with great speed and quality.

Because of you, the quality of our film became so good. Fight masters Ram Lakshman and King Solomon choreographed outstanding action sequences. The three years of stress and responsibility of ‘Raja Saab’ brought tears to Maruthi garu’s eyes. When I first met Maruthi garu, I told him that all films are becoming action-oriented and that we should give our fans a good entertaining movie. With the horror-comedy genre, we prepared this project. Vishwa Prasad garu kept saying yes to Maruthi garu’s script and supported it throughout. When it came to the climax, I became a fan of Maruthi garu’s writing. I wondered whether he wrote it with a pen or a machine gun. Such a climax has not come even in horror-comedy films. You must watch it and tell me. After 15 years, Maruthi is giving full Darling entertainment. Watch the movie – it is coming this Sankranti. All Sankranti films should become blockbusters. Seniors are seniors, and we learn from them. Along with all the Sankranti releases, our ‘The Raja Saab’ should also become a blockbuster. The trailer is coming tomorrow – watch it. It will be amazing.”
