Senior Heroine For Special Song In Raja Saab: Will It Happen?

Prabhas and Maruthi’s Raja Saab stands to be one of the most anticipated films in the making. while fans were earlier skeptical about the prospect of Prabhas working with Maruthi, things have changed drastically after Maruthi has promised to deliver a winning film for Prabhas’s fans.

While we have this on one side, there is a parallel talk on the film and this is regarding the female oriented song in the film. Apparently, the team is considering the idea of having Nayanthara feature in a special song in the film. This will be a special moment in the film and Maruthi apparently feels that Nayanthara would be the right fit for the same.

However, there is a catch here. Nayanthara simply doesn’t do dance numbers and item songs, at this point in her career. Moreover, she certainly isn’t in the kind of space where she would feature in a song just for the sake of it. If she is given a staple 5-minute role and a song to follow, she certainly wouldn’t be up for it.

Maruthi, of all the people must be self aware of it. So if he really is considering the idea of boarding Nayan for this song, then he would certainly be making it happen for a special purpose. The chances are that Maruthi has penned a strong enough role to lure Nayanthara into featuring in it.

Else, the whole idea doesn’t have credence. For now, we have to wait and watch how Maruthi deals with this prospect of whether or not Nayanthara is being considered for the song in the first place.
