Massive OTT Deal Locked Before Release
In a strategic move that highlights the film’s commercial appeal, the digital streaming rights for “The Raja Saab” were secured approximately a month before its theatrical debut. According to industry reports from 123Telugu, the OTT rights have been acquired by JioCinema (Hotstar) in a substantial deal worth ₹160 crores.
This means fans who miss the theatrical experience will soon be able to stream “The Raja Saab” on Jio Hotstar following its cinema run, though the exact streaming date hasn’t been announced yet.
Star-Studded Cast and Production Budget
“The Raja Saab” brings together an impressive ensemble cast. Alongside Prabhas, Bollywood veteran Sanjay Dutt plays a pivotal role in this horror-comedy venture. The film also features talented actors including Zarina Wahab, Boman Irani, Malavika Mohanan, Niddhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar in key roles.
While official figures haven’t been disclosed by the makers, industry estimates suggest the film’s production budget ranges between ₹400-450 crores, positioning it as a high-stakes theatrical venture.
