Last-Minute Trim for Prabhas’ ’The Raja Saab

Without a doubt, The Raja Saab is the epitome of mass entertainment, promoted as a consummate entertainer. However, the makers have decided to buck the trend of three-hour-plus films (with Dhurandhar leading the pack) by trimming the final runtime of The Raja Saab to just under three hours.

A source reveals, “The original plan was for the film to exceed three hours. But both Prabhas and director Maruthi felt that a shorter runtime would make the final product more appealing to audiences. About 15–20 minutes were cut from the planned duration.”
