Even as actor Prabhas revels in the success of 'Salaar: Part 1', the actor has unveiled the look of his upcoming film with Maruthi. On the occasion of Makar Sankranthi and Pongal, Prabhas took to social media to reveal the title of his next and the first look. 


Prabhas's next with director Maruthi has been titled 'The Raja Saab'. The first look poster of the film is quite colourful and presents actor Prabhas in a different avatar after a long period. 


In the first look, Prabhas is seen dressed in a black t-shirt and black and white lungi. He is seen sporting long hair and a thick beard. There are fireworks in the background with confetti all around him. 


While it may not be evident from the poster, 'The Raja Saab' is touted to be a horror film. The film is directed by Maruthi Dasari, mostly known as just Maruthi, whose credits include horror-comedy 'Prema Katha Chitram' (2013), romantic comedy 'Mahanubhavudu' (2017) and comedy-drama 'Prati Roju Pandage' (2019). It is being produced under the People Media Factory banner with T.G. Vishwa Prasad ('Karthikeya 2', 'Dhamaka') as producer and Vivek Kuchibotla ('Bro) as co-producer. The cinematography is by Karthik Palani ('Varisu'), Thaman S. ('Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo') is the composer and the VFX is led by Kamal Kannan ('Magadheera', the 'Baahubali' films).

'The Raja Saab' will be released in the Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi languages.

As quoted in The Variety, Maruthi said, “‘The Raja Saab’ stands as one of my most ambitious projects to date. Collaborating with Prabhas and People Media Factory is both an honor and exciting for me as a filmmaker. We are geared up to offer our audiences a grand horror experience. Having Prabhas on board is particularly special as his electrifying screen presence infused with our horror narrative is sure to leave audiences amazed.”

The producer Prasad added, “We are thrilled to have Prabhas on board for our upcoming romantic horror entertainer ‘The Raja Saab.’ He’s truly a pan-India star who’s loved by audiences for his brilliant range as an actor and we truly believe he’s best suited for the role. Audiences can expect to see him in a massy and vintage look that they have long yearned for. With Maruthi’s filmmaking brilliance, we are truly looking forward to beginning this journey.”
