Malavika Mohanan is known for her red hot looks and sleazy photoshoots. She recently made her presence felt in Prabhas\' The Raja Saab.\r\nMalavika recently commented \"In Tamil and Telugu cinema, for the longest time, I have known actresses who don\'t even bother to learn their lines. For example, if a scene requires you to be sad, you simply make a sad expression and count \'1, 2, 3, 4\' or say \'A, B, C, D.\' If you are supposed to be angry, you just recite the alphabet, knowing that someone will eventually match the lips to the dialogue during dubbing. This isn\'t a one-off occurrence; there are actors who have done this for their entire careers.\"\r\nNetizens reacted to her comments in this way.\r\nOne user wrote, \"Malavika Mohanan Acting in Master was trolled by all for her expression. But She is Commenting on others (sic).\"\r\nAnother social media user posted, \"She should take her own advice (sic).\" Others echoed this, noting that Mohanan herself had been subject to scrutiny in the past.\r\n\"Her performance in the film was below average. She may have learned her lines thoroughly, but performance is not just about getting the lip-sync right,\" a netizen commented.

\r\nThammareddy Bharadwaja on The Raja Saab. Prabhas\' The Raja Saab directed by Maruthi which released on 9 Jan 2026 turned out to be a huge disappoint to the movie lovers.\r\nIn the midst of all this, Thammareddy Bharadwaja speaking to scribes came up with a stinging take on the film. He said &ldquo;From what I know, when The Raja Saab was initially conceived, it was meant to be a small, cute film that would connect with Telugu audiences. When the producer started the project, he brought in director Maruthi. He is not known for making large-scale commercial films. He was brought in specifically to make a simple film within a regular budget for a Telugu release. I don&rsquo;t understand why they did not stay true to that original idea.&rdquo;\r\nThe film starred Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal and Riddhi Kumar in female lead roles and music is tuned by Thaman. The film featured Sanjay Dutt in a key role.\r\n
