From elaborate sets to global aspirations, the speeches from the production designer, cinematographer, creative producer, producer, and director of The Raja Saab paint a vivid picture of what audiences can expect. At the teaser launch event today, the team spoke their hearts out.
A Visual Spectacle of Unprecedented Scale:
The Raja Saab is set to be a visual feast, with production designer Rajeevan revealing over three and a half years of work on the elaborate "Raja Saab haveli" and artwork. Producer TG Vishwa Prasad emphasized building the "largest indoor set ever" and confidently stated it would be the "third biggest film in terms of VFX and production scale." Cinematographer Karthik Palani's expertise was also highlighted, promising stunning visuals that will be a major highlight alongside Thaman's music.
Prabhas: The Icon's Versatility:
A recurring theme across all speeches was Prabhas's immense belief in the project and director Maruthi. Prabhas gave his nod to the film within minutes of the first discussion and stood by Maruthi even when others doubted him after Pakka Commercial.
The film aims to showcase a "vibrant, vintage Prabhas" with Bujjigadu-style charisma, featuring three heroines and highlighting his unique comic timing and dance moves, a departure from his recent action-packed roles. His dedication to fans and tireless work ethic to deliver "wonderful films" were also praised.
Maruthi's Triumphant Return:
Director Maruthi's journey with The Raja Saab is one of resilience and vindication. Despite doubts from the industry and even his own family after Pakka Commercial didn't perform well, Prabhas's support and excitement for the story propelled him forward. Maruthi took the project as a challenge, committing fully to the script to deliver a film that will entertain from beginning to end, with a 40-minute climax being a major highlight.
People Media Factory's Ambitious Vision and Box Office Aspirations:
Producer TG Vishwa Prasad and creative producer SKN are confident that The Raja Saab will make People Media Factory unforgettable. Vishwa Prasad believes the film will "break every box office record". The casting of Sanjay Dutt as the antagonist to match Prabhas's screen presence further emphasizes the grand scale, and significantly, a "global-scale sequel to The Raja Saab is already in the pipeline."
An Entertainment Extravaganza for Families:
Beyond the grand scale and star power, the film is poised to be a complete entertainer for families. Director Maruthi assured that the film will be enjoyable for all, promising a colorful song with the three heroines, a high-energy intro song, and plenty of moments showcasing Prabhas's unique comic timing and dance skills.
The Raja Saab heads to theatres on December 5th.
