Actress Nidhhi Agerwal, who stars opposite Prabhas in the upcoming romantic fantasy film The Raja Saab, recently opened up about her experience. In an interview, Nidhhi praised Prabhas and called the experience refreshingly real. She is currently gearing up for Hari Hara Veera Mallu with Pawan Kalyan. The film is releasing this month. Recently, during interaction with a media portal, she was asked about working with Prabhas in The Raja Saab. The actress praised him and said, 'All heroes in the industry have dupes to perform stunts. But in The Raja Saab, there wasn't much action in my scenes, and I got to act with the real Prabhas!" The Raja Saab, a romantic horror comedy directed by Maruthi, is releasing on December 5 2025. This film is being positioned as a lighter outing, showcasing the actor in a fun and entertaining avatar that contrasts with his recent intense roles. He also has an upcoming project with director Hanu Raghavapudi, tentatively titled Fauji, which is believed to revolve around themes of patriotism and drama, though details remain tightly guarded. The Raja Saab teaser begins by introducing fans to a haunted mansion, soaked with dark secrets from the past. As sinister energy and spirits lurk in the night, Prabhas takes it as a mission to wipe out the evil. The teaser consists of all the crucial elements of a Prabhas film – there's a massy entry, dance, dialogues, and the actor perfectly balancing action with comedy. One of the show-stealers from the Hindi version of the teaser has to be Prabhas asking Nidhhi whether she's ever fallen in 'Shah Rukh Khan wala pyaar". Apart from this, she also has action drama with Pawan Kalyan. Hari Hara Veera Mallu trailer has already been released, and it has been trending.

Presented by AM Rathnam, Hari Hara Veera Mallu Part 1: Sword Vs Spirit's power-packed trailer was released by the makers on July 3.

The Kushi star can be seen flexing his sheer personality with a commanding on-screen performance. First Published: July 17, 2025, 15:33 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

This film is being positioned as a lighter outing, showcasing the actor in a fun and entertaining avatar that contrasts with his recent intense roles. He also has an upcoming project with director Hanu Raghavapudi, tentatively titled Fauji, which is believed to revolve around themes of patriotism and drama, though details remain tightly guarded. Beside this, actor Prabhas is gearing up for what is touted to be one of the most ambitious collaborations of his career with filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga in their upcoming film Spirit. Ever since the announcement, the project has generated a buzz across fan circles, with many speculating about its scale, emotional depth, and the actor's transformation for the role. Now, the wait for a major update is over. At a recent event in the United States, Sandeep's brother, Pranay Reddy Vanga, confirmed that the film will officially go on floors in September 2025. Spirit marks the first collaboration between the Baahubali star and the Kabir Singh director, and expectations are already sky-high. According to earlier reports, Sandeep had specifically requested Prabhas to allot bulk dates for the film, as the role will require a complete physical and stylistic overhaul. This level of transformation would make it difficult for the actor to shoot for other films concurrently, prompting Prabhas to wrap up his existing commitments before fully immersing himself into the world of Spirit. Sources close to the project indicate that the makers plan to shoot the film in a single, focused schedule to preserve narrative continuity and character integrity.
