Talking to IANS on the sets of the film, where a huge mansion had been erected for the film, producer T G Vishwa Prasad, who is sparing no expense to make sure that the film is truly world class, said, "We have three songs left to be shot. Apart from that, there is some small patch work that will have to be completed. Otherwise, shooting is almost over."

The producer also disclosed that the VFX in Raja Saab will be world class and that it will have all forms of CG including 3D CG.

The unit is confident that the film will shatter records and set the cash registers ringing at the box office when it hits screens on December 5 this year.

In fact, the film is already breaking records even before its release. It now holds the record for having been shot in India’s largest horror-fantasy set ever created. The towering, haunted mansion set seems to be steeped in secrets and is surrounded by an ominous silence.

It may be recalled that director Maruthi, during the launch of the teaser, had said that the reason behind making such a grand film was to "prove that we can make a Walt Disney film in India too."

Apart from Prabhas, the film also features Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, and Riddhi Kumar — each adding layers of mystery to the cursed mansion’s tale.

Produced by People Media Factory and directed by Maruthi, 'The RajaSaab' is slated to release on December 5 this year in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam as a pan-Indian entertainer.

Prabhas is truly taking Telugu cinema to global heights! After Baahubali and Salaar, this horror-fantasy genre is exciting. Hope the VFX lives up to the hype. The haunted mansion set sounds incredible - can't wait to see it on screen! 🤩

While I'm excited about the film, I hope they don't overdo the VFX at the cost of story. Some recent pan-India films have suffered from this. Prabhas is a brilliant actor - let's see him perform, not just be surrounded by CGI!

Comparing to Walt Disney is setting very high expectations! But if anyone can pull it off, it's Prabhas. The combination of horror and fantasy with such a star cast is intriguing. December release means perfect holiday season viewing with family.

Sanjay Dutt in a Telugu film! What an interesting casting choice. The multi-language release strategy shows how Indian cinema is evolving. Hope the story does justice to all these big names involved. Fingers crossed! 🤞

After the massive success of Kantara's horror elements, this seems to be the right time for a big-budget horror-fantasy. But hope they maintain the Indian essence and not just copy Hollywood styles. Our mythology has so much potential for such genres!

The production values sound amazing, but I hope they don't compromise on the music. Songs can make or break Indian films. With 3 songs yet to be shot, I'm curious about the composers and singers. Any updates on that?
