The Raja Saab OTT deal creates new tensions
But the hidden secret behind this has now been revealed. One of the sources close to the film has revealed to us that the makers only released the trailer as the film's OTT deal is yet to be locked.
This has put the makers in a spot of bother as they have spent close to Rs 400 crore on this horror comedy. The makers are in talks with multiple platforms, and the sources go on to add that the top platforms are not in the mood to shell out huge amounts on this horror comedy, which has mostly Telugu nativity.
They are playing the waiting game for the makers to get desperate and lock the deal for a lesser price. Prabhas is a massive star and his films are watched across the globe, but things are different with The Raja Saab, as it is not an action drama, which Prabhas generally does.
Maruthi has directed the film, which has wrapped up its shoot. Only one romantic song is yet to be canned, and that will be shot in the month of December. The Raja Saab has been in the making for over two years and was delayed due to Prabhas' injury and busy schedule.
Malavika Mohanan makes her Telugu debut with The Raja Saab
The makers are trying hard to keep the film in the news, and that is the reason they released the trailer so that they can build hype around the film to attract buyers. Malavika Mohanan makes her Telugu debut with this film, which has music by the in-form Thaman. Stay tuned for more updates on this project.
