Maruthi Confident The Raja Saab Will Cross ₹1000 Cr at the Box Office
Director Maruthi is making a bold claim about his upcoming pan-India film, The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas—he believes the film will comfortably cross the ₹1000 crore mark at the global box office.
During a recent Q&A session with the media, Maruthi was asked if The Raja Saab could match the box office benchmarks set by Prabhas’ previous blockbusters like Baahubali and the upcoming Kalki 2898 AD. Without hesitation, the director confidently stated that the film will indeed surpass the ₹1000 Cr milestone.
The Raja Saab, produced by People Media Factory, is a horror-comedy—a genre Prabhas hasn’t explored in recent years. The recently released teaser received widespread positive reactions, even winning over critics who were initially skeptical about the project.
Adding to the film’s mass appeal is Sanjay Dutt, whose pan-India presence is expected to give the film an edge across Hindi-speaking markets. The film also features three leading ladies, promising a full-fledged entertainer that showcases Prabhas in a light-hearted, jovial avatar—a refreshing shift from his intense roles in recent outings.
Slated for a December 2025 release, The Raja Saab is being mounted on a grand scale, and all eyes are now on how the box office will respond to this genre-bending entertainer.
