Malavika Mohanan Recalls Her First Meeting With Prabhas: 'He Was Charismatic'
Prabhas and Malavika Mohanan will soon be seen in The Raja Saab. The film also features Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal and Riddhi Kumar.
Actress Malavika Mohanan, who plays one of the female leads in director Maruthi's upcoming horror fantasy 'The RajaSaab', has now disclosed details of the first time she met actor Prabhas, who plays the male lead in the film.
Malavika, who had a brief interactive session with her fans on X recently, answered questions posed by them on the occasion.
When a fan asked her for her favourite moment on the sets of 'The RajaSaab', Malavika said, 'We're buzzing with the excitement of #TheRajaSaabTeaser so I'll answer this one first. I would say one of the special moments for me was the first time I met Prabhas sir on the sets of our film."
She went on to say, 'I was shooting for another film and had travelled to Hyderabad without getting any sleep and was super drained and tired but the moment I saw Prabhas sir I was wide awake! He was charismatic, warm, welcoming and might I add a fantastic conversationalist!"
Interestingly, 'The RajaSaab' has been shot in India's largest horror-fantasy set ever created. A towering, haunted mansion steeped in secrets and ominous silence was erected for the film. In the teaser of the film which was recently released, Prabhas appears in two striking looks — one brimming with irresistible swag, boundless energy, and screen-dominating charm, and another that hints at darker, mystical undertones.

The film has cinematography by Karthik Palani and music by one of South India's top music directors, Thaman S.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga to start filming Spirit in September 2025, Prabhas to join in November
The long-awaited film 'Spirit', directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Prabhas alongside Triptii Dimri, is set to commence its principal photography in September 2025. While production will begin with select members of the cast, lead actor Prabhas is expected to join the team later in November. The update was recently shared by Pranay, one of the project's key stakeholders, during a public address in the United States. 'The shooting will start with a few actors from the team, with Prabhas joining the set much later in November 2025,' he confirmed, adding to the mounting excitement among fans. The delay in Prabhas's arrival has only heightened curiosity, with many eager to see how the 'Baahubali' star will transform into what is believed to be a hard-hitting, upright police officer. Reportedly a gritty cop drama, 'Spirit' marks another collaboration between Sandeep Reddy Vanga and music composer Harshavardhan Rameshwar, who has already completed work on the film's background score. Known for his evocative compositions in 'Arjun Reddy', 'Kabir Singh', and 'Animal', Rameshwar's music is expected to be a central element in setting the film's intense tone. The film will be predominantly shot in Thailand and is being mounted on a large scale. It is being produced in Telugu, with simultaneous dubbed versions planned in Hindi and several other languages to cater to a pan-Indian audience. Triptii Dimri has been cast opposite Prabhas, stepping in to replace Deepika Padukone, who was earlier linked to the project. Dimri's inclusion adds a fresh dynamic to the narrative, although details about her role remain tightly under wraps. With a year-long pre-production phase already completed, Spirit is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films in Prabhas's career post-'Salaar'.
