Prabhas’s The RajaSaab was released in theatres on Friday, January 9. The film opened to a lukewarm response. Fans, in particular, were disappointed that some scenes shown in the trailer did not feature in the final cut. On Saturday, the makers held a press conference in Hyderabad to address the criticism. They revealed that a four-minute sequence featuring Prabhas as an old man, something fans were eager to see, has now been added. To accommodate this, a few other scenes have been trimmed.

The RajaSaab director addresses criticism

Speaking at the press conference, director Maruthi said, “Prabhas fans aren’t disappointed with the film, but they aren’t fully satisfied either. That’s because we showcased him in an old get-up with attitude and swag in the trailer. While searching for that look, the fans couldn’t process the story I was presenting.”
