Director Maruthi's horror-comedy 'The Raja Saab,' starring Prabhas, is strategically planning a Japanese release. This decision stems from Prabhas's immense popularity in Japan, evidenced by the successful runs of his earlier films, 'Baahubali: The Epic' and 'Saaho,' in the country. The production team confirmed that the Japanese-dubbed version is slated for release three to six months after its Indian debut, expanding the film's reach.
This project marks Prabhas's foray into his first full-fledged horror entertainer, a departure from his previous roles. The recently released trailer has already amplified anticipation among fans and industry observers. Meanwhile, the makers are also anticipating between 150 to 200 screens in Tamil Nadu, though the exact number remains uncertain.
'The Raja Saab' boasts a strong technical team, with cinematography by Karthik Palani and music by Thaman S. The film also features a talented cast, including Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Ridhi Kumar, who are expected to bring charm and freshness to the eerie narrative. The movie's unique blend of horror and comedy is poised to captivate audiences both in India and Japan.
