Pavan also posted a clip of the fight scene he had taken while watching the film, writing, “My team stunts in #RajaSaab. Theatre cut went crazyyy. Feeling sooo grateful to witness Prabhas anna LIVE on the big screen. True fanboy moment — cinema hits different when passion meets big screens.” When Maruthi spoke about using body double for PrabhasA few days ahead of The Raja Saab’s release, Maruthi’s comments on the matter amid growing criticism for Prabhas using body doubles for the simplest scenes had circulated online. The actor had received similar criticism for his previous films, including Saaho and Radhe Shyam.In an interview with Great Andhra, the filmmaker reasoned that most heroes use a body double and that they cannot be ‘inconvenienced’ for every shot. Calling Prabhas’ performance and scenes ‘precious’, he said, “Nobody today strains heroes to do every scene. Keeping aside their health, these artists are like diamonds. People worship them like gods. I don’t think we should be inconveniencing them. They don’t need to be for things that can be achieved with technology.”The Raja Saab collected ₹112 crore worldwide on its opening day. New scenes have been added to the film from Saturday, after a lukewarm response.
