The motion poster for "The Raja Saab" has received a positive response, showcasing Prabhas in a completely new avatar. It also clarifies the film's genre—horror comedy.
However, some social media users are drawing comparisons between "The Raja Saab" and Rajinikanth’s "Chandramukhi."
Despite being a mass hero, Rajinikanth took on a horror comedy role in Chandramukhi, which became a record-breaking hit in 2005.
The physical appearances of both Rajinikanth in Chandramukhi and Prabhas in The Raja Saab share some similarities, and since both films belong to the same genre, there is speculation about whether director Maruthi is creating a Chandramukhi-style movie with Prabhas.
Regardless of the comparisons, The Raja Saab marks a significant shift in Prabhas's career, as he is primarily known for his action roles.
