This interview with actress Nidhhi Agerwal provides insights into her upcoming film, "The Raja Saab," a horror romantic comedy set to release on January 9, 2026 (0:04).

Here are the key takeaways from the interview:

About "The Raja Saab":

Genre and Character: The film is a horror romantic comedy, with Nidhhi portraying a multifaceted character, seen as a nun in the teaser and an "angel with wings" in the "Sahana Sahana" song (9:53-10:05).

Working with Prabhas: Nidhhi describes Prabhas as the "nicest person" she has ever met and a "true darling." She highlights his hospitality, noting that he frequently sent her a variety of vegetarian food (14:31-14:51, 8:11-8:45).

Height Matching: To match Prabhas's height (6'2"), Nidhhi (5'7") had to wear heels and stand on apple boxes for the first time in her career (5:32-5:59).

Vintage Prabhas: She assures audiences they will see a "vintage Prabhas" in the film, showcasing a different side of him with high energy, vibrance, and comedy (7:31-8:05).

Production Values: "The Raja Saab" is Nidhhi's most expensive project to date, with People Media Factory sparing no expense, especially for the massive palace set that became a "second home" to the cast (11:31-11:50, 6:45-6:53).

Personal and Professional Insights:

Self-Sufficiency on Set: During an international shoot in 0°C weather, Nidhhi brought her own gas cylinder, pan, and groceries to cook healthy meals to ensure she looked her best for song sequences (16:53-17:27).

Voice Dubbing: For the first time, Nidhhi is dubbing in her own voice for the film, believing it adds 100% to the performance and helps convey emotion and timing (26:56-27:29).
Future Plans: She has signed three more Telugu films, which will be announced after "The Raja Saab" release (0:50-0:54, 19:11-19:15).

OTT Interests: An avid consumer of OTT content, she is a fan of shows like Stranger Things, Friends, Game of Thrones, and Black Mirror, and expressed a strong desire to act in a well-made OTT project (19:34-20:47, 21:58-22:16).

Support for the Industry: Nidhhi emphasizes that the success of a big-budget film like "The Raja Saab" benefits the entire film industry by creating more work and opportunities for everyone (29:21-30:05).
