The Raja Saab new version to release soon

The Raja Saab also stars Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, and Riddhi Kumar.

The film received criticism over its VFX and runtime. Many were also disappointed when a few scenes from the trailer of the film were not featured in the film. On Saturday, the makers held a press conference in Hyderabad and announced that new scenes will be added soon.

“Keeping that in mind, I sat last evening to make the second half of the film sharper and include the missing scenes from the 6 PM show today. I am sure that the 8-9 minute episode will be mind-blowing. No film has depicted a fight scene taking place on the roof so far. Prabhas worked very hard for it,” said Maruthi, as per a report by Hindustan Times.
