Prabhas's 'The Raja Saab' Crashes JioHotstar After Massive OTT Release

  • Despite a theatrical flop, Prabhas's 'The Raja Saab' saw an overwhelming response on JioHotstar, causing the platform to crash.
  • Millions of fans logged in simultaneously upon release, leading to server overload, even after over a crore people had set 'Remind Me'.
  • JioHotstar acknowledged the issue, attributed it to Prabhas's fan base, and announced server capacity improvements.
  • The film, directed by Maruthi and starring Prabhas, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Sanjay Dutt, was made on a budget of ₹400 crore but collected only ₹200 crore in theaters.
  • The OTT version includes scenes not shown in theaters, potentially contributing to its renewed interest.
