He said, “Another important character in the film is Boman Irani’s. As seen in the trailer, his makeover will be different. Boman Irani plays the role of a psychiatrist in the film. From the beginning, the thought was that as his character arrives, there should be a change in the tone from a horror comedy to an unimaginable turn.”




The director also praised Boman Irani’s dedication and performance. He shared that after hearing the narration, the actor fully understood and owned the character. Maruthi revealed that Boman Irani delivered his dialogues in both Telugu and Hindi. He said actors like Boman Irani have the power to mesmerize audiences with their presence. “In this film, he will be there for 15-16 minutes. As long as he is there, you will definitely feel captivated by his acting,” he said.

In the trailer released earlier, Boman Irani is seen explaining to Prabhas about Sanjay Dutt’s character, who is described as a powerful character who knows magic, hypnosis, and psychology. Another trailer released recently shows Sanjay Dutt as a menacing figure haunting the mansion that Prabhas seems to have inherited.

The movie is set to release on January 9 and is set for a clash with Thalapathy Vijay’s ‘Jana Nayagan.’
