A Heartwarming Gesture: Prabhas Fans Send Food to The Raja Saab Director Maruthi
The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas and directed by Maruthi, is gearing up for its theatrical release in early January. The film has been in the making for nearly three years, and from the very beginning, it faced considerable skepticism, especially from fans, regarding its genre, scale, and execution. However, those doubts appear to have been largely put to rest with the release of the film’s trailer, which has significantly boosted confidence around the project.
A few days ago, during a promotional event, director Maruthi turned emotional on stage while speaking about the long journey of The Raja Saab. Prabhas was seen consoling him, a moment that resonated strongly with fans. Addressing the audience at the pre-release event, Maruthi made a bold statement by publicly mentioning his home address and saying that people were free to question him personally if the film failed to meet expectations.

What followed was an unexpected and heartwarming gesture. Prabhas fans surprised the director by sending food parcels to his home as a mark of encouragement and support. Touched by the gesture, Maruthi shared pictures of the food sent by fans on social media, expressing his gratitude.
The moment also drew comparisons to Prabhas himself, who is widely known in the industry for sending generous food spreads to co-actors and technicians. This time, his fans mirrored that gesture, extending it to the film’s director.
The Raja Saab is a horror fantasy comedy and features Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar as the female leads. Music for the film is composed by Thaman. With promotions in full swing and strong buzz following the trailer, the film is set to release in theatres on January 8, marking one of the most keenly awaited Prabhas releases in recent times.
