Prabhas To Get More Trolled
Using body doubles and stunt doubles is common in big movies. However, in The Raja Saab, people noticed doubles even in normal scenes.
By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 29 Jan 2026 5:26 PM ISTPrabhas is one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema. Over the years, he built a strong image with films like Baahubali. However, in recent times, some of his movies have faced heavy criticism. Among them, many people now feel that The Raja Saab caused more damage to Prabhas’ image than Adipurush.
At the box office, The Raja Saab performed much worse when compared to Adipurush. Reports say that its total collections were almost half of what Adipurush earned. But movie experts believe that the real problem is not just about money. The bigger issue lies in the technical quality of the film.
One of the strongest criticisms was about the VFX and the use of AI face technology. Many viewers felt that Prabhas’ face did not look natural in several scenes. Some scenes clearly looked like face replacement, and this disappointed the audience. Clips from the theatre prints were shared widely on social media, which increased the negative talk around the film.
Using body doubles and stunt doubles is common in big movies. However, in The Raja Saab, people noticed doubles even in normal scenes. This made viewers feel that the film lacked proper care and effort. For a high-budget film starring a big hero, such mistakes were not expected. Fans felt let down because they could easily spot these issues.
The box office numbers also reflect the poor response. Within just 20 days, the daily collections dropped sharply. The film failed to hold strong not only in Telugu but also in Hindi and Malayalam markets. Because of this, the movie’s theatre run ended much earlier than expected.
Another concern is the OTT release. Industry insiders believe that once the film releases on digital platforms, it may face even stronger criticism and Prabhas may get more trolled. Online viewers usually notice technical flaws more clearly, which could lead to more negative discussions.
The Raja Saab acts as a warning sign for Prabhas’ career. It shows that even a star hero cannot escape criticism if the story, technology, and execution are weak. Fans and critics now feel that Prabhas must be more careful while choosing scripts and teams for his future films.
