In a move that has electrified fans, director Maruthi made an extraordinary promise at the pre-release event of the much-anticipated horror-comedy 'The Raja Saab', starring Prabhas. Overwhelmed with emotion, the director assured the audience that the film would not let them down, going so far as to publicly invite them to his personal residence if it did.
A Director's Bold Guarantee to Fans
As reported by Hindustan Times, Maruthi took the stage and addressed the crowd with a statement of supreme confidence. He declared, "If even 1% of you are disappointed in the film – both Rebel Star fans and family – you can come to my house and question me at Villa No. 17, Kolla Luxuria, Kondapur!" This daring invitation was met with thunderous applause and cheers from the assembled fans. Prabhas, who was standing beside the director, could be seen smiling at the bold declaration.
Emotional Breakdown and a Star's Comfort
The event took an emotional turn when Maruthi, while expressing his gratitude to Prabhas, broke down in tears. According to a report by Gulte, the director shared that those tears stemmed from the immense pressure and stress he endured throughout the film's making. Witnessing his director's emotional state, Prabhas immediately stepped forward to comfort him with a supportive hug. This heartfelt moment between the star and his director became one of the most talked-about highlights of the entire evening, showcasing their strong bond and shared commitment to the project.
What to Expect from 'The Raja Saab'
The film promises a thrilling and humorous ride. The trailer reveals Prabhas in a dual role. One avatar is a carefree, happy-go-lucky man who appears to inherit a haunted house, while the other is an aged character with supernatural abilities. The movie features Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar as the female leads. Adding to the star power is Bollywood icon Sanjay Dutt, who plays a menacing antagonist with supernatural powers. The ensemble supporting cast includes veterans like Boman Irani and Zarina Wahab, alongside popular comedians Brahmanandam and Vennela Kishore.
With Maruthi's passionate guarantee raising expectations to a new high, all eyes are now on the film's release. 'The Raja Saab' is scheduled to hit theatres in multiple languages on January 9, aiming to deliver a perfect blend of scares and laughter to audiences.
