The Raja Saab trailer: The highly anticipated trailer for Maruthi’s The Raja Saab, featuring Prabhas, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, and Sanjay Dutt, dropped on Monday evening, giving fans a first glimpse of the upcoming horror-comedy spectacle. The film is said to showcase Prabhas in dual roles, portraying both a young man and an older character, adding a unique twist to the narrative.

The trailer opens with Prabhas seated in a hypnotist’s office, where he is asked to concentrate as the iconic Bappi Lahiri and Usha Uthup song Koi Yahan Nache Nache plays. Disturbed by the visions that unfold—a mix of supernatural creatures and a haunted mansion—he looks visibly tense and startled.
Sanjay Dutt’s character is then introduced, described by Boman Irani as an “exorcist, psychiatrist and hypnotist.” The trailer hints at an exciting face-off between Prabhas and Dutt, complete with a cheeky Star Wars reference. By the end, Prabhas is shown in an older avatar, suggested to be his villainous grandfather, with veteran actor Zareena Wahab portraying his grandmother.
