Directed by Maruthi and headlined by Prabhas, The Raja Saab was one of the most anticipated movies of the year. Released after much delay and on the Sankranthi holiday, the movie opened to a massive fanfare but failed to sustain at the box office. Owing to poor word of mouth, the movie bombed from the second day itself, making it one of Prabhas' lowest grossers. Days after the movie's release, fans of the actor have reignited the chatter around the ‘R' curse relating to Prabhas.

What is the ‘R' curse? 

The poor business of The Raja Saab has been attributed to the shoddy performance of the actor, shabby screenplay, logic-defying plot, poor VFX and comical storyline. Made on a reported budget of ₹400 crore, the horror comedy movie has barely collected over ₹130 crore in India. This comes amid the reports that the actor had taken a 33% fee cut for the movie.
