An event was held today in Mumbai to release Nache Nache from The Raja Saab.
Speaking on the occasion, producer TG Vishwa Prasad began saying that People Media Factory's Hindi journey began with Karthikeya 2 and was followed up with Jaat and Mirai last year. He shared that The Raja Saab will present the comedic and romantic persona of Prabhas from the pre-Baahubali era. "At the same time, you won't be missing his action hero side. He is the biggest pan-India star and this is the biggest project to come out from our banner. We shot the film on the largest sets. Horror and fantasy combine in this narrative. The emotions between Prabhas sir and Zarina Wahab ma'am will be strong," the producer said, adding that director Maruthi's contributions have been significant.
Since Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD got released only The Raja Saab was commenced, the scale of the film was enhanced vastly. The imagination became bigger and bigger. The last 40 minutes of the movie will be spell-binding, the producer hinted. Casting someone like Sanjay Dutt was a no-brainer. "He has killed it with his screen presence. He is the perfect foil to Prabhas' range," he added.
Boman Irani said that his wife asked him to do the film as soon as he received a call from the production house. "After I hang up the call, I told my wife that a Prabhas movie was on the offer. She asked me to accept it anon without second thoughts," the 3 Idiots actor said.
Nidhhi Agerwal found the shooting part quite challenging because the film has lots of VFX. "We had to imagine a lot while acting. That said, it was so much fun shooting. I used to miss the shoot on off days. The VFX is fantastic. Kids are going to enjoy the visuals, the creatures. This is a multi-genre movie that has so much for everyone," the actress said. She briefly recalled the experience of shooting for Sahana Sahana (duet) in Slovenia.
Malavika Mohanan said, "When this film came my way, I thought someone was pranking me. It feels like destiny that I am debuting in Telugu with a Prabhas movie. I had previously missed out on Salaar."
The event also saw the presence of Hindi distributor Anil Thadani. Rajeevan is the film's production designer.
The Raja Saab will head to theatres on January 9.
