Interestingly, it is currently trending at the top of JioHotstar’s list. Since a section of the audience did not watch the film in theatres, many are now streaming it on OTT. The Maruthi directorial has clocked record views online, and ever since it landed on JioHotstar, it has been trending in the top five. This shows the kind of craze the film generated despite its theatrical failure.

The Raja Saab faces trolls for dupes used in the film

However, the trolling continues. The latest issue involves Malavika Mohanan, who was introduced through a fight sequence in the film. Fans have now shared behind-the-scenes clips revealing that a body double was used for one of her action scenes. The dupe was seen performing alongside another actor, and the images have gone viral.

Fans are pointing out that not only Prabhas but even the heroines were not used properly, with dupes reportedly brought in to complete portions. There are also claims that in several scenes, Prabhas’ face was added onto a body double using VFX.

These revelations have added to the criticism against director Maruthi and the makers. Despite the trolling, the OTT platform is reportedly happy as the film continues to garner strong viewership and bring in multiple subscribtions. 

The Raja Saab was made on a budget of Rs 400 crore, and there is news that a scam also happened during production irregularities. All this has brought the team under massive criticism. Right from the day the film has released, it has landed in some controversy or the other.

What is Prabhas' upcoming film in Telugu?
