The wait is finally over for the millions of fans who have been eagerly anticipating the digital debut of the Rebel Star. After its grand theatrical release during the festive Sankranthi season on January 9, 2026, the Prabhas starrer horror comedy “The Raja Saab” is officially making its way to your living room screens. This transition marks a significant moment for Pan Indian cinema as one of the most talked about films of the year prepares to reach a global audience through digital streaming.

Official OTT Release Date and Platform

Mark your calendars for February 6, 2026. The production house, People Media Factory, has officially partnered with Jio Hotstar to bring “The Raja Saab” to the digital space. The film is scheduled to begin streaming from the early hours of Friday, allowing fans to kickstart their weekend with a dose of supernatural entertainment.

While the film had a massive theatrical run, the OTT arrival is happening just four weeks after its cinema release. This quick turnaround is part of a strategic move to capitalize on the immense buzz surrounding the film while the “Rebel Star” fever is still at its peak across the country.

Streaming Languages and Digital Experience

One of the biggest advantages of the OTT release is its accessibility. Jio Hotstar has confirmed that “The Raja Saab” will be available in multiple languages to cater to its massive Pan Indian following. Viewers can enjoy the film in its original Telugu version, as well as dubbed versions in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.

For Hindi speaking audiences, reports suggest a slightly different schedule or a separate cooling off period, so it is best to keep an eye on the platform for the specific Hindi rollout. The streaming version will also feature high quality 4K resolution and Dolby Atmos sound, ensuring that the eerie atmosphere of the royal mansion and the thumping musical score by Thaman S are experienced just as the director intended.

The Extended Cut Surprise

Perhaps the most exciting news for die hard fans is the announcement of an “Extended Cut” for the digital premiere. Director Maruthi has reportedly included several deleted scenes and additional footage that were trimmed from the theatrical version to maintain a specific runtime.

This digital exclusive version is expected to provide more depth to the backstories of the characters and offer more screen time for the lead stars, including Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and the legendary Sanjay Dutt. For those who felt the theatrical experience was too short, this extended version serves as the definitive way to watch the film.

Why The Raja Saab is a Must Watch on OTT

If you missed the film in theaters, “The Raja Saab” offers a unique blend of genres that is rare in Indian cinema. It successfully balances spine chilling horror elements with laugh out loud comedy, all while keeping the “Mass” appeal of Prabhas intact. The story follows a modern man who discovers dark, supernatural secrets within his ancestral royal home, leading to a clash between the living and the dead.

The chemistry between the lead pair and the high production values make it a visual treat. With the added comfort of watching from home, the jumpscares and the comedic timing are bound to resonate differently, making it a perfect pick for a family movie night or a binge watch session with friends.
