India’s ‘biggest’ horror set for The Raja Saab
The Raja Saab is a film directed by Maruthi and starring Prabhas in the lead role. In a press note, the film’s team claimed that at the centre of the horror comedy film will be a haveli that’s ‘unlike anything Indian cinema has seen before’.
The set, designed by art director Rajeevan Nambiar, is a massive 41,256 sq ft. According to the makers, the haveli isn’t just a backdrop but an ‘immersive, living, breathing space’ that’s a huge part of the story. Towering doors and shadowy corridors can be expected.
“Every detail had to serve the emotion, not just the aesthetics. We didn’t want the set to look haunted—we wanted it to feel haunted,” shares Rajeevan in a statement, adding, “The intention was to build something that starts pulling you in the moment you enter—whether you’re a viewer or someone walking through it.”
The film’s team also noted in the statement: “Every stone, prop, and shade within the Haveli has been custom-built to elevate the horror. Even the floor has been designed to add an eerie texture to the visuals. This isn’t just set design—it’s storytelling through space.”
