Nidhhi Agerwal Opens Up On Working With Prabhas In The Raja Saab: 'I Got To Act...'
Last Updated: The Raja Saab, a romantic horror comedy directed by Maruthi, is releasing on December 5 2025. 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. Actress Nidhhi Agerwal has revealed that the sequel to the upcoming historical epic is already in motion. Krish and Jyothi Krishna's Hari Hara Veera Mallu, starring Pawan Kalyan, is all set to release on July 24. This will mark Pawan Kalyan's first film after becoming the Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh. However, it looks like the movie has hit a roadblock, with a Bahujan group voicing their protest over the film's titular character. The community has accused the makers of misrepresenting the story. 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. It features Pawan Kalyan as a rebellious warrior who dares to defy the mighty Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, played by Bobby Deol. The 2-minute 56-second video begins with a voiceover that evokes the national spirit to protect Sanatana Dharma against the Delhi Sultanate. 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.

Prabhas Confirms More Projects With Hombale Films: 'We Are Planning For...'
Prabhas will be next seen in The Raja Saab. He also has director Hanu Raghavapudi's Fauji, in his kitty Prabhas is one of the most bankable actors in the industry. He has many films, including Spirit, Salaar 2, and Fauji in his kitty. However, recently Prabhas opened up about his association with the production house Hombale Films. He described the bond as deeply personal and also hinted at many other films. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Telugu superstar Prabhas confirmed about more films with Hombale Films. Describing the relationship as 'like a family," Prabhas confirmed, 'We are planning for more films together," hinting at new ventures beyond their current agreements. Prabhas will be next seen in The Raja Saab. The 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. 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.

Nidhhi Agerwal: I wanted to be a heroine all my life
Despite being attached to big-ticket films for a few years now, actor Nidhhi Agerwal has had a rather start-stop career. If the pandemic was one reason, the various delays in her marquee projects was another reason. Three years since she last appeared on the big screen in Tamil and Telugu, Nidhhi is back with one of her biggest releases, the period epic Hari Hara Veera Mallu. Headlined by Pawan Kalyan, the Jyothi Krisna directorial is slated for release on July 24. It marks her maiden venture in the period genre, which often requires actors to learn new skills. Hari Hara Veera Mallu was no exception. 'For this film, I learnt horse riding. Although I am trained in ballet and Kathak, I didn't know Bharatanatyam, which was something I learnt for the film." Hari Hara Veera Mallu follows a nonconformist character (Pawan) who steals the Koh-i-Noor diamond from the Mughals. The film, which is set to release in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi, and Malayalam, is definitely different from the kind of films Nidhhi has starred in her career. Acknowledging that variety is needed to bring out the versatility of an actor, she says, 'A director once told me that in every film, my acting is different because I do not have a personal style yet. I usually just follow the director's instructions. I do not add my own touch to the role unless I need to. I feel like I do not have a pattern yet, or maybe I do.' However, she shares that having a particular style of acting is a double-edged sword. "We run the risk of losing uniqueness while playing different characters, right?" In what can be construed as Nidhhi making up for all the lost time, she is not just part of the pan-Indian Pawan Kalyan film, but also plays a pivotal role in Prabhas' much-delayed, and yet much-awaited horror comedy, The Raja Saab. In fact, she had to juggle between both these sets. It posed two challenges for her: losing out on regular sleep and sleeping in transit as a result, and maintaining character continuity. However, the actor shares that the fact that both films are of two extreme genres helped her be in character. 'Every set has a completely different vibe. As soon as you enter the Hari Hara Veera Mallu sets or The Raja Saab sets, I am like, 'Ok, I am in this world.' Your surroundings, and the actual set makes a huge difference. With Hari Hara Veera Mallu, it was set in a palace, and there was no blue screen filming involved.'
