Speaking about the fantastical elements in The Raja Saab, actress Riddhi Kumar said, "The Raja Saab mein fantasy land create kiya gaya hai. Jo bhi horror comedies humne dekhi hai woh ek realistic space mein set hai jaise ki Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Woh ek realistic mahal mein bani hai aur fir ek phycological thriller hai... Ismein bhi phycological thriller ka element hai but the world that we have created is fantastical. Every audience wants ki hum apni duniya bhool kar koi picture dekhein. Aap kahin bhi ja sakte ho par aap fantasy mein nahi ja sakte ho. I think it's one of the most striking elements in The Raja Saab."
