Director Maruthi, the filmmaker behind the highly anticipated horror-comedy The Raja Saab, delivered a confident and audacious assurance to Prabhas fans during the film's pre-release event held in Hyderabad on December 28, 2025. Starring Pan-India superstar Prabhas alongside Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, and Riddhi Kumar, the movie is one of the biggest releases slated for 2026. Addressing the audience directly, Maruthi boldly stated that if even 1% of viewers—whether die-hard Rebel Star fans or family audiences—felt disappointed after watching the film, they were welcome to come to his house and question him personally. He even shared his exact address: Villa No. 17, Kolla Luxuria, Kondapur, leaving fans and attendees in awe of his conviction.

In a separate video message shared on the official The Raja Saab X page, Maruthi spoke glowingly about Prabhas's performance, promising something unprecedented for audiences nationwide. He noted that while Telugu viewers are familiar with Prabhas's entertaining side, the Pan-India audience has yet to witness this particular facet of the star. Maruthi emphasized that Prabhas's look, get-up, and overall portrayal in the film would linger in viewers' memories for years, describing it as a never-before-seen episode on the Indian screen. The director's remarks have significantly heightened excitement ahead of the film's theatrical debut.

Actress Malavika Mohanan, who joined Maruthi and Prabhas at the pre-release event, showered praise on her co-star, calling him "one of the sweetest people" she has ever worked with. She expressed heartfelt thanks to Prabhas for his warmth and professionalism on set. Mohanan also extended gratitude to director Maruthi for the substantial role of Bhairavi, highlighting how the character offered her a rare blend of songs, romance, comedy, drama, and action—especially impressive in a film headlined by the "Action King," Prabhas. Her comments underscored the film's strong ensemble dynamics and Maruthi's commitment to giving female characters depth and variety.
