The Raja Saab is shaping up to be a unique project in Prabhas’ career. Directed by Maruthi Dasari, the film has been generating curiosity and mixed reactions since its announcement.
The film, however, promises to elevate Maruthi’s stature as a director to new heights. The initial reactions to the Prabhas and Maruthi combination faced significant backlash from fans, who were disappointed with Prabhas taking up a project with a director they considered not on his level.

However, the recently released posters and motion teasers have helped to some extent in reducing that negativity. Industry insiders believe this project could catapult Maruthi into the league of pan-India directors.
If The Raja Saab turns out to be a hit, speculation suggests Maruthi might gear up for another pan-India film with a star hero. Rumors indicate he is working on a script for Allu Arjun, which is said to be a complete family entertainer.

However, any official announcement about Maruthi’s next project is expected only after the release of The Raja Saab.
Currently, Maruthi is fully focused on delivering a grand cinematic experience with this film, which aims to appeal not just to Prabhas’ fans but also to pan-India audiences.

If Raja Saab fails, even tier-2 heroes might hesitate to collaborate with Maruthi. Conversely, if the film becomes a hit, it is still doubtful whether a pan-India superstar like Allu Arjun would team up with Maruthi, especially when some of India’s biggest directors are eager to work with the actor.
