Prabhas was a fantastic conversationalist, says Malavika Mohanan

Malavika Mohanan shares her first encounter with Prabhas on The RajaSaab sets, calling him a "fantastic conversationalist" in this horror-fantasy film.

"He was charismatic, warm, welcoming and might I add a fantastic conversationalist! – Malavika Mohanan"

Chennai, June 19

Actress Malavika Mohanan, who plays one of the female leads in director Maruthi's upcoming horror fantasy 'The RajaSaab', has now disclosed details of the first time she met actor Prabhas, who plays the male lead in the film.

Malavika, who had a brief interactive session with her fans on X recently, answered questions posed by them on the occasion.

When a fan asked her for her favourite moment on the sets of 'The RajaSaab', Malavika said, "We’re buzzing with the excitement of #TheRajaSaabTeaser so I’ll answer this one first. I would say one of the special moments for me was the first time I met Prabhas sir on the sets of our film."

She went on to say, "I was shooting for another film and had travelled to Hyderabad without getting any sleep and was super drained and tired but the moment I saw Prabhas sir I was wide awake! He was charismatic, warm, welcoming and might I add a fantastic conversationalist!"

Interestingly, 'The RajaSaab' has been shot in India’s largest horror-fantasy set ever created. A towering, haunted mansion steeped in secrets and ominous silence was erected for the film.

In the teaser of the film which was recently released, Prabhas appears in two striking looks — one brimming with irresistible swag, boundless energy, and screen-dominating charm, and another that hints at darker, mystical undertones.

Apart from Prabhas and Malavika Mohanan, the film also features Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal 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.

The film has cinematography by Karthik Palani and music by one of south India's top music directors, Thaman S.

Prabhas has that rare quality of making everyone comfortable around him! Remember how humble he was even after Baahubali's success. Can't wait to see this horror fantasy - the set looks amazing in the teaser. South Indian cinema is really pushing boundaries now!

Malavika is such a natural actress! Loved her in Master. The combo of Prabhas' mass appeal and her subtle acting will be interesting. Hope the story does justice to such a grand set they've created. Horror genre needs fresh ideas in Indian cinema 🤞

December release means they're targeting holiday season. Smart move! But hope they don't rush VFX work - we've seen how bad CGI can ruin good concepts. Thaman's music better be fresh too, his recent work has been repetitive. Still, Prabhas magic might pull it off!

"Fantastic conversationalist" - what a classy way to describe someone! Shows Prabhas' grounded nature despite being a superstar. Our film industry needs more such gentlemen. Also, Sanjay Dutt in a South Indian film? That's unexpected masala! 😄

Pan-Indian release is good but hope they don't compromise the original Telugu flavor. Some recent dubbed films felt too generic. The haunted mansion concept reminds me of old Ramsay brothers movies - hope they bring that eerie feel with modern techniques!

After Adipurush's disappointment, Prabhas really needs a hit. This seems like a safer commercial choice than his other projects. Malavika's right - his screen presence is electrifying! Just hope the story matches the hype. Fingers crossed for Maruthi's direction 🤞
