'The Raja Saab': Thaman to compose special song for Prabhas fans; Darling actor to romance all three heroines
Picture Credit: Facebook Rebel Star Prabhas will be next seen in the upcoming horror comedy film 'The Raja Saab' directed by Maruthi. Currently, in its final leg of production, the film has already moved into post-production mode. Latest reports suggest that a special number is being composed by music director S Thaman that is bound to delight Prabhas fans. According to a report by 123Telugu, Thaman has completed most of the work for the film's music album and has just two songs left to finish. Among these, he is expected to make a track that will feature Prabhas romancing all three heroines in the film which include Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan and Riddhi Kumar . This number is being made as a fan treat and will be a visual and musical highlight of the movie. It is said that director Maruthi is putting extra effort into this song as he wants to give something truly memorable to audiences. Since 'The Raja Saab' marks Prabhas' return to the comedy-romantic genre after a long time, the makers are keen on making every moment count and especially the songs. Interestingly, the idea for this new song came after an unexpected twist. The team initially wanted to remix a popular Hindi track from the past to add a nostalgic vibe to the film. However, when they approached the music label holding the rights, they were quoted a whopping Rs 5 crore for the song – a price that shocked the production team. Therefore, they decided to drop the idea and instead turned to Thaman for an original composition. The makers of 'The Raja Saab' have been putting extra effort into the film's production. During an interaction with India Today, the makers said that they had been working 16 to 18 hours a day. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani and others in key roles.
