The RajaSaab is a 2026 Indian Telugu-language fantasy horror comedy film written and directed by Maruthi, and produced by People Media Factory. The film stars Prabhas, alongside Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar and Zarina Wahab. In the film, a man searching for his missing grandfather finds himself in a mansion inhabited by a sinister presence.

Production

In 2022, director Maruthi narrated a horror comedy script to Prabhas to which he agreed. While Prabhas was already shooting Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD, he decided to shoot for the film simultaneously and Maruthi began pre-production work. The film marks the maiden collaboration between Prabhas and Maruthi, and Maruthi called it a “golden opportunity” to direct a star like Prabhas.

The film was tentatively titled Raja Deluxe, to be produced by DVV Entertainment, however, production was later transferred to People Media Factory. Several titles like Royal and Ambassador were considered, however, the title The Raja Saab was announced in January 2024 on the occasion of Sankranti. It is reported that the film takes place at the backdrop of an old cinema theatre.

Several actresses like Raashii Khanna and Sreeleela were considered for the film, before signing Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal and Riddhi Kumar as the three lead actresses. Nayanthara was also roped in for a special song. Later, Sanjay Dutt and Boman Irani also joined the film for important roles.

Principal photography began in October 2022. A special set was erected at the Aluminium Factory near Gachibowli in Hyderabad. The next schedule took place in Kanchipuram. Filming continued at a stretch from a period that began after the completion of Prabhas's previous project, Kalki 2898 AD. This block commenced in late July or mid-August and continued uninterrupted until the end of December, totalling approximately five months.

The film was shot on what is the largest indoor film set ever constructed in India, spanning 41,256 square feet. This set, designed by art director Rajeevan Nambiar, was erected on property owned by People Media Factory in Aziznagar, Moinabad, near Hyderabad.
