This collision will be not only of well-known stars, but also among the powerful films of three different genres.

Prabhas’s horror comedy film The Raja Saheb

First of all, let’s talk about Prabhas’s film ‘The Raja Saheb’, which is a horror comedy. In this film, Prabhas will see a different style, where both fear and laughter will have a tremendous combination. The success of ‘Stree’ and ‘Stree 2’ also shows that this genre is very much liked.

Now comes to Ranveer Singh’s film ‘Dhurandhar’. In this film, Sanjay Dutt, R.K. Big stars like Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna and Arjun Rampal will be seen.

In such a situation, it will be really interesting to see the collision of three superstars this time.
