Raja Saab Movie Teaser Release Amid 8-Hour Workday Debate
The film's massive set and extended work hours have raised the bar for horror movies in India, and with its talented cast and crew, 'The Raja Saab' is poised to make a lasting impact on the industry, showcasing Prabhas' comedy skills and cementing his position as a versatile actor.
Prabhas' upcoming horror-comedy film 'The Raja Saab' is generating buzz with its teaser glimpse, while the producers address the ongoing discussion about 8-hour workdays in the industry, revealing their crew worked extended hours to deliver better output.
The film's director, Maruthi, shared that while actors maintained an 8-hour workday, the crew worked 18 hours a day for 2.5 years to ensure the movie's success. This comes amid controversy surrounding Deepika Padukone's demand for an 8-hour shift for her upcoming movie 'Spirit', which led to her declining the project. 'The Raja Saab' stars Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, and is set to hit theaters on December 5, 2025, in five languages.
The film boasts India's largest horror set, spanning 41,256 sq.ft, designed by Rajeevan Nambiar. The monumental structure, built from scratch, features massive doors, echoing corridors, and eerie rooms, and is integral to the film's atmosphere. Director Maruthi has brought together emotion, scale, and aesthetic detail to craft a haunting world, with the set scheduled to be unveiled to select media members on June 16, coinciding with the teaser launch.
The movie's teaser features Prabhas as a happy-go-lucky guy who falls in love with Nidhhi Agerwal, but things take a downturn. The teaser also showcases Sanjay Dutt and Boman Irani in prominent roles. Despite the reported leak of the teaser, the makers have warned against sharing leaked content and have promised to take strict action.
With its unique blend of horror and comedy, 'The Raja Saab' is expected to captivate audiences, and the controversy surrounding work hours in the industry has only added to the film's intrigue, making it one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
