The Raja Saab

Telugu star Prabhas' much-delayed comedy action film, The Raja Saab, was a massive theatrical failure. Directed by Maruthi, the film's poor writing and VFX were panned massively, with audiences pointing out that the makers had used face swap in several scenes with a body double and Prabhas' face, which was glaringly noticeable. The film is OTT bound and it has been reported that the makers have trimmed the film, to remove many instances that had been trolled.
