The makers of The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas, launched the high-energy dance number ‘Nache Nache’ at a special event held in Mumbai on Monday, December 5. The song gives a glimpse of a vibrant party number and is a remix of the popular track ‘Koyi Yaha Nache Nache’ from the 1993 blockbuster Disco Dancer, originally composed by Bappi Lahiri.

Malavika Mohanan Speaks
The event began with an emotional address by actress Malavika Mohanan. She shared that The Raja Saab marks her Telugu debut and said she had been waiting for the right project to enter the industry. “Working with Prabhas sir feels like a dream come true. I consider myself extremely lucky,” she said.
“I Thought It Was a Scam” – Malavika, Sharing an interesting anecdote, Malavika revealed that she was initially shocked when she received the call for the film. “When I got the call, I genuinely thought someone was trying to scam me,” she said, adding that she had recently delivered a big hit with Thalapathy Vijay. A few months later, she received a call from Prashanth Neel’s team, who were working with Prabhas on Salaar. Though she met Prashanth Neel, things did not materialize, and she missed out on Salaar: Part 1.

She further shared that six to eight months later, she received another call saying it was for a Prabhas film. Since Prabhas was already working on Salaar and another project with Deepika Padukone, she was confused and again thought it might be fake. Eventually, she was assured of its authenticity, met director Maruthi in Hyderabad, and realized that The Raja Saab was meant to be her Telugu debut.
Calling it destiny, Malavika said, “Missing Salaar and then debuting opposite Prabhas feels like fate. I have always been a huge fan of Baahubali.” She praised Prabhas for his humility and sweetness, saying his nickname “Darling” suits him perfectly.
She described The Raja Saab as a horror-romantic comedy filled with emotions, comedy, thrills, action, drama, and heart, making it a complete family entertainer. She urged audiences to watch the film in theaters on January 9.
Riddhi Kumar Shares Her Experience
Actress Riddhi Kumar also shared a similar experience. She revealed that when she first received a call for the film, she couldn’t believe she was being offered a role opposite Prabhas. “I was sure it was a scam,” she said, adding that she had previously worked in Radhe Shyam. Jokingly, she even told the callers that her father was Amitabh Bachchan.
However, after receiving official links and advice from her manager, she called back. Director Maruthi and producer SKN later visited Mumbai, explained the project, and began the casting process. After look tests, auditions, photoshoots, and multiple scene performances, she was finally cast in The Raja Saab.

Riddhi also shared a heartwarming incident from the sets. She revealed that Prabhas often took special care of the entire unit during shoots. He would send home-cooked food in large containers for everyone on set. “Sometimes it was different varieties of biryani, sometimes mutton and other traditional dishes,” she said. This gesture reflected Prabhas’ generosity and helped create a warm, family-like environment on set.
Nidhhi Agerwal’s Experience
Actress Nidhhi Agerwal described the project as one of the most enjoyable experiences of her career. She said that due to heavy use of VFX, many scenes had to be performed using imagination, but the shoot was still extremely fun. “This is a perfect film for children and families. The set felt like our second home,” she said.
Zarina Wahab on Working in Telugu Cinema
Veteran actress Zarina Wahab said she had long wanted to work in Tamil and Telugu cinema but was waiting for the right project. “I have been in the industry for 40 years and belong to Andhra Pradesh. People often ask why I never worked in Telugu films. I believe everything happens at the right time,” she said.
She added that the Raja Saab has given her immense recognition and publicity. Speaking about Prabhas, she said, “Our real Raja is Prabhas—he is a wonderful human being, and working with the team was a joyful experience.”

He added that Prabhas interacted with everyone—technicians, makeup artists, and crew members—with innocence and humility. “He enjoys his stardom but never imposes it on others,” he said.
