Step into the mysterious world of ‘The Raja Saab’, the upcoming horror fantasy film starring Prabhas and Sanjay Dutt, and you’ll find yourself inside one of Asia’s largest and most haunting indoor film sets. Built in Aziz Nagar, Hyderabad, this extravagant set is nothing short of a cinematic marvel — a chilling palace that oozes both grandeur and ghostly vibes.

The Set That Breathes Fear

A massive mansion built for the film serves as the heart of the story. The moment you push open the heavy ancient doors, sounds echo eerily through the corridors. The place dazzles with chandeliers, hanging lights, and massive pillars wrapped in artificial ancient roots, creating a bone-chilling vibe. Standing guard are masked soldiers in grey, carrying spears — straight out of a supernatural nightmare.

Sanjay Dutt Returns as a Ghostly Grandfather

In a gripping twist, Sanjay Dutt plays the role of Prabhas’ grandfather, who dies untimely and returns as a ghost. As you explore the mansion, a two-storeyed structure unfolds with royal thrones, mysterious rooms, and eerie photo frames — one of which features Sanjay Dutt in a regal sherwani and pearl necklace, his eyes seemingly watching, waiting.

A Monumental Effort Behind the Scenes

This spectacular set took two and a half months to build, involving 1,500 workers and months of creative collaboration. According to producer T.G. Vishwa Prasad, the mansion alone accounts for just 3% of the film’s total budget, yet its scale and impact are jaw-dropping. Art director Rajeevan Nambiar meticulously designed every corner after extensive research and feedback from the creative team.

The Haunted Heart of the Film

The mansion isn’t your typical spooky house — it has no real corners, designed to unsettle you at every turn. Over 70% of the movie has been filmed inside this eerie palace. There’s a grand library, a creepy bedroom, and most notably, rooms dedicated to tantric rituals. One room features a well with hanging effigies, possibly victims of black magic. Another room showcases burning diyas, strange offerings, and witchcraft items, intended to immerse the viewer in ancient dark arts.

Horror in the Details

From turmeric and roli stains, to hanging roots, to hypnotic symbols and mysterious clocks, every element of the set is crafted to either scare, distract, or mesmerize. As art director Rajeevan puts it — even the smallest item, like a clock, is designed to play tricks on your mind.

‘The Raja Saab’ promises to be a thrilling blend of royalty, horror, and fantasy — a chilling saga unfolding inside one of the most elaborate sets Indian cinema has ever seen. Get ready to be haunted like never before.
