Director Maruthi, known for his knack for blending commercial entertainment with unique storytelling, is aiming high with his upcoming horror-fantasy magnum opus ‘The RajaSaab’, starring pan-India superstar Prabhas. At the teaser launch event in Hyderabad, Maruthi confidently declared that the film will “definitely” cross the ₹1000 crore mark, setting sights on the same box office league as Baahubali and Kalki 2898 AD.
💬 “It Will Definitely Make ₹1000 Crores”
When asked whether The RajaSaab could outdo the collections of Baahubali and Kalki, Maruthi responded in Tamil, “It will definitely make (that sum).” He also referenced his earlier success, saying:
“You all know how big a hit ‘Darling’ was in Tamil Nadu. It was a remake of my Telugu film ‘Prema Katha Chithram’. This film too will definitely work in Tamil as well.”
🧛♂️ Single Role, Dual Shades
Addressing speculation about Prabhas playing a dual role, Maruthi clarified that Prabhas plays a single character—but one with two contrasting shades, as seen in the teaser. One avatar is stylish, magnetic, and charismatic, while the other hints at a darker, supernatural dimension, evoking excitement among fans of the genre.
🏰 India’s Largest Horror-Fantasy Set
Adding to the buzz, The RajaSaab has been filmed on India’s largest-ever horror-fantasy set — a massive, haunted mansion steeped in mystery and foreboding. The teaser gives viewers a glimpse of this eerie setting, and the production design has already become a talking point for its scale and detail.
🌟 Stellar Cast
Alongside Prabhas, the film features an eclectic ensemble:
- Sanjay Dutt in a key role,
- Nidhhi Agerwal,
- Malavika Mohanan, and
- Riddhi Kumar,
each contributing to the layered narrative surrounding the cursed mansion.
🌐 Pan-India Release
Produced by People Media Factory, The RajaSaab is slated to release on December 5, 2025, in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, cementing its status as a full-blown pan-India spectacle.
With massive expectations, haunting visuals, and Prabhas in a never-seen-before avatar, The RajaSaab is gearing up to be one of the biggest theatrical events of the year. Whether it reaches the ₹1000 crore club or not, one thing is certain — Maruthi and Prabhas are pulling out all stops to make it a blockbuster ride.
