As anticipation builds for Prabhas’ romantic fantasy The Raja Saab, one casual Instagram post has sent fans into overdrive. With the film gearing up for a grand global release on January 9, the lead pair’s off-screen moment has become the latest talking point — and yes, it comes with an unexpected AI twist.
A Picture That Broke the Internet
On Sunday, Nidhhi Agerwal shared a cheerful selfie with Prabhas, the duo flashing the popular Korean heart gesture — a symbol of love and appreciation often seen in K-pop culture. The caption, however, stole the spotlight: “This is not AI,” followed by a smiley and the film’s hashtag.
In an era flooded with AI-generated celebrity images, the clarification felt both timely and playful. The result? Instant virality.
Fans Divided: Real or Rendered?
While many fans celebrated the rare, candid-looking click, others weren’t fully convinced. The comment section quickly filled with debates — some praising Prabhas’ charm as always, others jokingly insisting the image looked “too perfect” to be real. The mixed reactions only amplified the post’s reach, keeping The Raja Saab firmly in the spotlight.
Fresh Pair, Fresh Energy
The selfie arrives just days after the makers dropped a new trailer, which already had fans buzzing about the film’s tone — a blend of romance, fantasy, and larger-than-life visuals. Prabhas and Nidhhi’s pairing is one of the film’s biggest draws, with audiences eager to see how their on-screen chemistry unfolds.
Nidhhi on Working With Prabhas
In recent interviews, Nidhhi has spoken candidly about sharing screen space with the pan-India star. She described working with Prabhas as a major milestone, admitting she was initially nervous because of his towering screen presence — and literal height, which reportedly required her to use an apple box during shoots.
She also revealed taking a few personal leaps for the film, including dubbing in Telugu for the first time and choosing to cook her own meals during an overseas song shoot. For Nidhhi, The Raja Saab isn’t just another project — it’s a turning point.
