Prabhas Fans Take Fake Crocodiles To The Raja Saab Shows
Devoted fans of Telugu cinema icon Prabhas marked the theatrical debut of his latest film, The Raja Saab, on January 9 with an eye-catching celebration, bringing imitation crocodile props into cinemas. Viral videos online depict enthusiasts raising these dummy reptiles overhead as they entered theaters, momentarily startling fellow audience members. The props, fortunately harmless replicas, draw direct inspiration from a dramatic trailer sequence in which Prabhas’ character hurls a crocodile during an action scene.
Clad in movie-themed attire, supporters were seen chanting slogans and generating high energy while parading the fake crocodiles through screenings, underscoring the intense enthusiasm for Prabhas’ new project.
According to preliminary figures from box office tracker Sacnilk, The Raja Saab recorded approximately ₹8.26 crore in domestic earnings on its opening day across all languages at the time of reporting. Released as a pan-Indian venture in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam, the film boasts a strong supporting cast including Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Zarina Wahab.
Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab blends elements of fantasy, horror, and comedy. Prabhas portrays Raja, a young man caring for his grandmother, who struggles with memory loss and frequently reminds him to locate his absent grandfather. His quest draws him to an ancient, enigmatic mansion linked to his family’s history, believed to harbor a malevolent entity. Inside its walls, Raja encounters supernatural occurrences, heartfelt family revelations, and humorous situations as he unravels the estate’s mysteries and seeks to reclaim his heritage.
