The Raja Saab out on OTT

The Raja Saab is one of the most awaited films in recent times. There was huge hype surrounding the film, which starred Prabhas, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Nidhhi Agerwal as the female leads and was directed by Maruthi. The Raja Saab hit the screens on January 9, 2026, and ended up as a disaster at the box office.

Where to stream The Raja Saab on OTT?

We at OTTplay were the first to reveal that JioHotstar had bagged the digital rights of the film and would stream The Raja Saab from February 6, 2026. As reported, the horror-comedy is now available for streaming on JioHotstar, and it can also be streamed here via OTTplay Premium.

The sad part is that The Raja Saab is available only in the South languages and the Hindi version is yet to be added. Only time will tell when the Hindi version will come out.

How much were The Raja Saab's digital rights sold for?

On the other hand, the digital rights of The Raja Saab were sold for a whopping ₹160 crore, and many expected the film to arrive on OTT at least a month after its theatrical release. However, seeing the disastrous response, the makers revised the deal and opted for an early OTT release.

As Prabhas had been doing back-to-back action films, he decided to take a breather, which is why he chose comedy specialist Maruthi to direct a horror-comedy like The Raja Saab.

The Raja Saab was in the making for nearly three years. Initially, Prabhas injured his leg while shooting for his other film Fauji. Later, the project ran into financial troubles, and the shoot was stalled for over six months as the makers ran out of funds. They faced several financial issues and remained silent for a long time. Thankfully, other parties stepped in and helped the makers wrap up the film.

The Raja Saab faces massive trolls

After its release, The Raja Saab was trolled heavily on social media. Director Maruthi, however, did not shy away from promoting the film and hyped it aggressively, leading to unprecedented expectations ahead of its release.

The makers were so confident that they added a premiere show a day in advance, but things started going downhill as negative word of mouth spread from the very first show. The film continues to be trolled on social media, and the memes are likely to continue.

That said, there is no denying the fact that the OTT release will draw solid viewership, as millions of people who skipped the film in theatres due to negative word of mouth will now watch it online.

What is the story of The Raja Saab?

The Raja Saab is about a man who goes to a haunted house to bring back his grandfather who has now become an evil spirit. Thaman composed the music for the film, and his background score was also trolled by a section of the audience, who felt it was too loud.

The makers have added a few changes, and an extended cut is now available on OTTplay Premium. Those who missed the film in theatres can stream it now. One needs to see how The Raja Saab fares in the days to come. There is no denying that it will continue to attract a lot of trolls and memes from the audience. Let’s see what happens.a
