All about film
“The Raja Saab” stars Prabhas in dual roles, with Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar as the female leads. The film also features Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, and Zarina Wahab. SS Thaman is the music composer.
The official trailer, released in September, provided a glimpse into its unique storyline. It began with Prabhas’s character in a hypnotist’s office while the classic song “Koi Yahan Nache Nache” played. He was shown reacting to unsettling visions, including creepy creatures and a haunted mansion. Sanjay Dutt’s character was introduced by Boman Irani as an “exorcist, psychiatrist, and hypnotist.”
The trailer suggested that Prabhas plays an older version of his character, with Zarina Wahab portraying his grandmother.
