Prabhas-Maruthi To Team Up Again After The Raja Saab Failure? Here's The Truth

Prabhas' The Raja Saab has turned out to be a major box office disaster. The fantasy horror comedy was made over a 3-year period and kept getting delayed due to one reason or the other. As the movie finally arrived in cinema halls on Sankranthi this year, it received poor reviews and even Prabhas' fans trolled it. Director Maruthi made big claims about the film in the lead up to the release but eevrything fell flat as The Raja Saab failed miserably.

Ever since Prabhas-Maruthi combo failed to deliver, the actor's fans are majorly upset with the latter for giving their favourite star an unwanted flop. Recently, rumours also went rife that the actor-director duo is reuniting for another movie. This left fans furious as they don't want Prabhas to work with Maruthi again, especially in such a short span of time. Moreover, according to social media buzz, Hombale Films was rumoured to bankroll this project.
