Raja Saab Song Sparks Online Trolling, Fans Defend Prabhas

Prabhas’ upcoming film The Raja Saab, scheduled for a grand Sankranti release, has once again become a hot topic on social media, but this time for mixed reasons. While expectations around the horror-comedy entertainer are high, a recently released song from the film has triggered widespread trolling online, drawing sharp reactions from both critics and fans.
Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab marks Prabhas’ return to a lighter, experimental genre, blending horror elements with comedy. As part of the film’s promotions, the makers recently unveiled a new song titled “Sahana Sahana,” composed by Thaman. Though the tune has gained decent traction online and is trending across platforms, the visuals have invited criticism, especially targeting Prabhas’ looks and dance moves.
A section of social media users expressed disappointment, claiming that Prabhas’ styling, costumes, and close-up shots in the song did not live up to their expectations. Comparisons quickly surfaced, with clips from his earlier hits like Varsham, Darling, and Chatrapathi going viral, highlighting what fans call his “golden phase” on screen. Critics argue that the grace and energy seen in those films are missing in the new song, leading to relentless trolling from anti-fan groups.
However, Prabhas’ loyal fan base has come out strongly in his support. Fans point out that the actor has been dealing with knee-related health issues for some time and has undergone treatment, making high-energy dance performances difficult. They argue that judging his performance without considering his physical condition is unfair. Supporters also stress that The Raja Saab presents Prabhas in a deliberately different avatar, keeping in line with the film’s horror-comedy theme.
Despite the criticism, the song continues to trend, proving that curiosity around The Raja Saab remains strong. Industry circles note that online trolling has become common for big-star releases, often peaking during promotional phases. Whether the negativity will impact the film’s box office prospects remains to be seen, but for now, The Raja Saab is firmly in the spotlight, driven by debate, nostalgia, and massive fan engagement.
With Sankranti approaching, all eyes are on how the film will be received once it hits theatres, as Prabhas attempts to surprise audiences with a genre shift and a fresh cinematic experience.
