Prabhas Brings Back Disco Memories

With The Raja Saab, Prabhas delivers yet another surprise, this time diving headfirst into the vibrant swagger of 90s disco culture. The ‘Nache Nache’ promo presents him in a light-hearted, groove-driven avatar, instantly evoking memories of Mithun Chakraborty’s iconic disco era. That unmistakable dance charm returns with 'new rebellious vibes', carried effortlessly by Rebel Star Prabhas.

The promo of ‘Nache Nache’ reveals the star channeling the free-spirited swagger synonymous with Mithun Chakraborty, widely regarded as Bollywood’s original disco icon. Mithun’s influence on Indian pop culture- especially through films like Disco Dancer (1982), making this visual throwback instantly evocative. 

‘Nache Nache’: Disco, Reimagined

Released on Saturday, the Nache Nache promo is soaked in retro exuberance. Synth-driven arrangements, pulsating rhythms, and flamboyant styling evoke the unmistakable musical legacy of Bappi Lahiri, the composer who introduced disco to mainstream Hindi cinema in the 1980s. Songs like I Am a Disco Dancer didn’t just dominate charts- they reshaped film music itself. The full song is scheduled to drop on Monday, January 5, 2026, and expectations are riding high on its nostalgia quotient.

Glamour Meets Groove

Sharing the dance floor with Prabhas are Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar, all appearing in striking, glamorous avatars. Their vibrant presence adds contemporary flair, ensuring the song feels celebratory rather than retrospective. The blend of classic disco aesthetics with modern styling makes Nache Nache feel both familiar and fresh.
