The Raja Saab makers on similarities with Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Ahead of the release of The Raja Saab starring Prabhas in the lead, the makers were asked whether the film was similar to Akshay Khanna's Bhool Bhulaiyaa.

Producer TG.Vishwa Prasad shot back saying&nbsp; &ldquo;We had to design a fantasy keeping India&rsquo;s biggest star in mind. So, it is significantly different in terms of visual elements as well as the background story.&rdquo;

Riddhi Kumar also shared &ldquo;Bhool Bhulaiyaa is an incredible film&mdash;I love it&mdash;but it was very realistically grounded. It was set in a real palace, in a real situation, with real people. The Raja Saab has a psychological element too, but it also ventures into a fantasy world. The whole point of fantasy is to create something that has never existed.&rdquo;

Nidhii Agerwal hoped ' The Raja Saab creates the kind of impact that Bhool Bhulaiyaa did.&rdquo;
