Pan-India star Prabhas is playing the lead role in The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi. Known mostly for action films, Prabhas is trying a different style with this horror-comedy movie, bringing back his vintage charm. The film has already created strong buzz in the industry and is set for a worldwide release on January 9 as a Sankranti special. With growing excitement, details about the film’s budget and cast remuneration have become a hot topic.

The movie is produced by People Media Factory and Ivy Entertainment, with TG Vishwa Prasad, Vivek Kuchibhotla and Ishan Saksena as producers. Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt plays an important role.
