Chennai, June 3 (NationPress) The producers of director Maruthi's much-anticipated horror thriller 'The Raja Saab', starring Prabhas in the leading role, officially revealed that the film will premiere globally on December 5 this year.
Heightening the excitement, the team also shared that a teaser will drop on June 16, providing fans their initial thrilling glimpse of this genre-defying project.
This film marks Prabhas's foray into new territory, as The Raja Saab will be his first full-fledged horror feature.
The initial motion poster, released earlier, suggested a delightfully twisted mix of supernatural themes and nostalgic charm, immediately capturing widespread interest.
Directed by Maruthi, celebrated for his exceptional blend of humor and emotion, The Raja Saab promises to deliver a horror experience infused with unexpected entertainment.
Produced by People Media Factory, the film is set to be a visual treat. Sources indicate that the production is being carried out on a grand scale with top-notch production values.
The film is produced by T G Vishwa Prasad, featuring cinematography by Karthik Palani and music composed by Thaman S.
In a departure from typical filmmaking where songs are finalized before filming, 'The Raja Saab' team has granted Thaman creative liberty to revisit his compositions.
In a March interview, Thaman shared his thoughts on this unconventional method: “I prefer this approach because Prabhas is returning with commercial tracks after a considerable hiatus. The film features an intro song, a melody, a high-energy dance number, and a love song that embodies its theme.”
With substantial expectations surrounding the film’s music, Thaman expressed his commitment to achieving excellence.
He noted, “The audio company has invested significantly, around ₹30-40 crore. Therefore, the songs must resonate with audiences across India, including Hindi-speaking areas. With Prabhas returning to a commercial space, I had to invest my heart into it. There’s no room for anything less than the best.”
The ensemble cast of 'The Raja Saab' includes the captivating trio of Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Ridhi Kumar, who are anticipated to bring charm, elegance, and novelty to the film's eerie yet vibrant universe.
The Raja Saab is slated for a grand Pan-India release in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam on December 5.
