Among the biggest films of the year is Prabhas – Director Maruhti’s Horror comedy ‘The Raja Saab’. Apart from the lukewarm teaser,do you know the massive set built for the palace is 40,000 sq. ft? The teaser of the film was dropped after months of waiting for the fans who wanted the ‘Baahubali’ star to be back on screen.
The movie has actors Prabhas, Malavika Mohan, Nidhhi Agarwal and Riddhi Kumar in the lead roles. Directed by Maruthi, the movie is bankrolled by Viswa Prasad under People Media Factory and has Thaman S composing the music. With great anticipation, the movie is releasing in several Indian languages on 5 December 2025.
‘The Raja Saab’ is made on a massive budget and seems like most of it went into pre- production, especially in building a realistic set for filming. A recent press note from the makers seems to reveal that one of the biggest sets for an Horror film was built for the shooting as the majority of the scenes in the movie is set in a Haveli.
The teaser that was out on Monday also revealed that the ghost of a wealthy man is guarding hsi own wealth and the palace even after his death. And the seemingky possessed bungalow is the talk of the town as the makers have now revealed that the set was bulit on over 40,000 sq. ft area and will be ‘unlike Indian cinema has seen before’.
Rajeev Nambiar, the art director of ‘The Raja Saab’ has also said that the 41,256 sq ft area set is not just a backdrop but an ‘immersive, living, breathing space’, something that was revealed at the very beginning of the teaser. Towering pillar and hallways to long corridors, the set is grandeur and shady as the film crew expected it to be.
“Every detail had to serve the emotion, not just the aesthetics. We didn’t want the set to look haunted – we wanted it to feel haunted,” Rajeev Nambiar said and shared that “The intention was to build something that starts pulling you in the moment you enter—whether you’re a viewer or someone walking through it.”
The makers have also revealed that the set including “Every stone, prop, and shade within the Haveli has been custom-built to elevate the horror. Even the floor has been designed to add an eerie texture to the visuals. This isn’t just set design—it’s storytelling through space”, reports Hindustan Times.
