Prabhas, the Rebel Star, has finally got some redemption together with his horror comedy The Raja Saab. After a theatrical run that may only be described as a nightmare, the film seems to have found its last breath on OTT. After 8 weeks of its theatrical release, it has arrived on JioHotstar and made an impact with its viewership within the debut week on the platform.
Despite unbearable reviews and a flop verdict in theaters, the curiosity around the film remained on OTT. The digital version with prolonged footage, including the much-hyped unseen aged look, added to the hype of the digital arrival, and this strategic move by JioHotstar turned the troll fest right into a viewership pool!
