The director of The Raja Saab, Maruthi, has revealed a key detail about Prabhas' upcoming horror-comedy. Boman Irani, who plays a psychiatrist in the film, is said to take the story to an unimaginable turn.
The Raja Saab starring Prabhas has already created a buzz on social media. Fans are eagerly waiting for the horror-comedy as the film is set to release on Sankranthi this year. Recently, director Maruthi has revealed an interesting detail about the film that has made netizens curious about Boman Irani's character in the film.
Maruthi on Boman Irani's character
In the clip shared by the makers on X as part of The Legacy of The Raja Saab series, Maruthi talks about Irani's role in the film, who plays a psychiatrist. "Another important character in the film is Boman Irani’s. As seen in the trailer, his makeover will be different. He plays the role of a psychiatrist. From the beginning, the thought was that as his character arrives, there should be a change in the tone of a horror comedy to an unimaginable turn."
Though the veteran actor appears on screen only for 15-16 minutes, the director hints that his presence pushes the film into darker and more unpredictable territory. Praising Irani, Maruthi said, “After the narration, he owned the character. He delivered the dialogues in Telugu and Hindi. They are actors who mesmerise the audience. As long as he is there, you will definitely feel captivated by his acting.”
