The suspense builds until Prabhas is finally revealed, seated on a throne in a regal black outfit, holding a cigar. The majestic palace backdrop enhances his king-like presence, leaving fans in awe of his powerful and nostalgic appearance.
The poster's tagline, "Horror Is The New Humor," promises a fresh take on the genre, while the phrase "Happy Birthday, Rebel Saab" celebrates Prabhas' iconic status as the Rebel Star in South Indian cinema.
