Hyderabad: A few days ago, Prabhas’ upcoming film ‘The Raja Saab’ was in news for leaked stills and video clips from its teaser ahead of its official release.
On Monday, at the official trailer launch event of the film, producer Sreenivas Kumar Naidu (SKN) revealed that a Tollywood producer wanted to sabotage ‘The Raja Saab’ with ‘negative campaigns.’
SKN revealed what happened behind the scenes of his friend, director Maruthi’s upcoming film.
“Much like how a wife knows her husband best, only a friend can know a best friend’s potential. Maruthi and I have been friends for 20 years now. Listen to me today. Everybody who underestimated this film will change their mind. You’ll see the ‘rebel god’ Prabhas, whom you’ve missed for a decade now,” SKN said.
He lauded Prabhas for not falling for the trap.
“I am well aware of how a producer tried to negatively campaign on this film when they began shooting. Now see how the same producer will talk positively about the film tomorrow. This film was only made possible because Prabhas gave his best without believing those campaigns,” SKN said.
Director Maruthi further revealed that the producer, who was initially supposed to fund the project, backed out.
“I wondered why he was trusting me so much. I realised I need to move forward and that I hadn’t come to Hyderabad to give it all up,” he said.
‘The Raja Saab’ is bankrolled by Vishwa Prasad of People Media Factory.
The film, which also stars Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan and Riddhi Kumar, will be released in theatres on December 5.
