The plot takes an interesting turn when Raja Saab encounters a man who bears a striking resemblance to his grandfather.

Earlier, director Maruthi Dasari confirmed that a sequel to The Raja Saab is under discussion. In an interview with OTTPlay, he said, "We're setting up a lead for The Raja Saab Part 2, but it won't be a continuation of the same story. It'll have a completely new storyline and a fresh setup. The film will remain in the horror genre, but we're planning to take it to the next level, and the script will be something no one has touched in the horror genre.”
The Raja Saab's cast also includes Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, Zarina Wahab, Samuthirakani, Boman Irani, Murali Sharma, VTV Ganesh and Prabhas Sreenu in key roles. The film is produced by IVY Entertainment and People Media Factory.
