Mumbai, January 2, 2026: The RajaSaab, one of the most anticipated films of 2026, is still getting a lot of attention online. The Prabhas-led movie is being called “India’s biggest horror-fantasy entertainer.” It promises a unique mix of spectacle, humour, and psychological intrigue.
In a video that was shared recently, director Maruthi talked about veteran actor Boman Irani, saying that he is one of the most important characters in the movie.
The tone of the movie changes when Boman Irani comes in
Maruthi says that Boman Irani’s character changes the story in a big way. The actor plays a psychiatrist, and when he shows up, the mood of the movie changes from horror-comedy to something more intense and creative.
Maruthi said, “From the start, we wanted his entry to change the tone of the story.” “When his character shows up, the movie goes into a whole new area.”
A Unique Appearance and Strong Presence
The director also said that Irani looks very different in this new role. A lot of the actor’s important scenes were shot in a library, which added to the psychological depth of his role.
Maruthi praised Irani’s ability to act, saying that the actor easily spoke lines in both Telugu and Hindi. The filmmaker said, “He owns the character completely.”
Short Screen Time, Long-Lasting Effect
Maruthi thinks that Boman Irani’s presence will leave a lasting impression, even though he is only on screen for about 15 to 16 minutes.
He went on to say, “The audience will be captivated as long as he is on screen.” Maruthi said that this character will also stay in people’s minds, just like Irani’s famous role as Virus in 3 Idiots.
What the RajaSaab is
People Media Factory made The RajaSaab, which was written and directed by Maruthi. The movie has a great cast, with actors like Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar.
The movie will come out in theatres across India on January 9, 2026, and it will be shown in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
The RajaSaab is going to be one of the most talked-about films of the year because of its big scope and interesting characters.
