The experimental film Raa Raja is set to captivate audiences: Director and Producer B. Shiva Prasad

Creating a film without revealing the faces of the actors is a bold move, one that has never been attempted globally until now. It's uncommon for a film to not show the actors' faces, but ‘Raa Raja’takes this unconventional approach. Directed by B. Shiva Prasad and produced under the banner of Shri Padmini Cinemas, with Mrs. Padma as the presenter, Burela Hari Prasad as the Executive Producer, and Kittu as the Line Producer, this film is already generating excitement. The teaser and trailer have sparked great anticipation for the movie, which is scheduled for release on March 7th. Director and producer B. Shiva Prasad shared exclusive insights with the media.

About your journey as a director and producer?

I ventured into production with ‘Maathru’, and during that time, the idea for ‘Raa Raja’ began to form. That's when I decided to take on the dual role of producer and director for this project.

How did the concept of making a film without showing the faces of the actors come about?

Today, audiences no longer choose films solely based on the names or faces of the actors. The focus has shifted towards content and story. I wanted to create a film driven by strong content, where the storytelling takes center stage. That’s what led me to make ‘Raa Raja’.

What can audiences expect from ‘Raa Raja’, a film where the actors’ faces are not shown?

Even though the actors' faces aren’t visible, the film will still evoke a full range of emotions, including love, comedy, and horror. ‘Raa Raja’ will captivate and entertain viewers right up until the final frame.

Can you tell us about the camera work in Raa Raja?

The technical team plays a crucial role in the success of *Raa Raja*. The cinematography by Rahul Srivatsav stands out as one of the main reasons the film turned out so well. He’s incredibly easy to work with, and he truly understands the director's vision. Collaborating with him has been an enjoyable experience.

How will the music be in Raa Raja?

The music by Shekhar Chandra is one of the film's standout features. The background score will be a major highlight, and after watching the film, the audience will definitely talk about his work. Viewers will be introduced to a new side of Shekhar Chandra’s music.

Finally, what would you like to say to the audience about Raa Raja?

We created Raa Raja to offer a unique cinematic experience to the audience. We’ve put in a lot of hard work, and I’m confident it will captivate everyone. No one will leave disappointed. Despite the absence of the actors' faces, the film will never make the audience feel like something is missing. It will keep them hooked from start to finish. I hope everyone supports this experimental project we’ve taken on.
