The Telugu film will also be dubbed and released in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada. Amid the wait for the biggie, exciting details have emerged about its OTT release. According to Always Bollywood, a handle on X (formerly known as Twitter) that tracks entertainment news, Netflix has acquired the digital rights of the film for Rs 100 crore. This, however, is for the Hindi version only. This means the Hindi version will be available on Netflix after its run in theatres. The Raja Saab plot and cast explored The Raja Saab is a horror comedy directed by Maruthi. The film's plot is still under wraps. However, the teaser suggests that it will centre on the events that unfold when the protagonist is haunted by the ghost of his paternal grandfather. It will also feature a liberal dose of action, comedy and glamour. The Raja Saab features Prabhas in a new avatar. The mass hero is best known for his work in films such as Baahubali, Salaar, and the Nag Ashwin-helmed Kalki 2898 AD. He will be seen with Sanjay Dutt in the biggie.

He scored a big hit with Kalki 2898 AD. The dystopian action drama featured him as a bounty hunter and marked his first collaboration with legends such as Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan. It grossed over Rs 1,000 crore globally. This was his second blockbuster after Salaar (2023). The action earned Rs 700 crore at the box office on a budget of Rs 270 crore to emerge.
