If you’ve been waiting to catch The Raja Saab from the comfort of your couch, tonight’s the night. The Telugu film is officially making its OTT debut on Jio Hotstar at 12 AM, and the release isn’t limited to just one language either. Along with Telugu, the film will also be available in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, making it a proper pan-South streaming drop.
There’s something about midnight premieres that still feels exciting, even in the age of on-demand everything. The Raja Saab landing right as the clock strikes twelve gives it that old-school “first day, first show” energy—except this time, the theatre is your living room and the snacks are whatever’s in your kitchen.
The film has been in the conversation for a while now, and its OTT arrival is likely to pull in a fresh wave of viewers—especially those who missed it earlier or were waiting for a home release. Jio Hotstar clearly seems to be betting big on the title by rolling it out simultaneously in multiple South Indian languages, which makes it easier for the film to travel beyond its original Telugu audience.
What works in the film’s favor is the curiosity factor. Whether you’re going in as a fan who’s been tracking updates closely or someone who just stumbled upon the title while scrolling through Hotstar, The Raja Saab feels like one of those films people will be talking about tonight—on timelines, in group chats, and probably in a few “should I watch this?” late-night messages.
Multi-language releases have become the norm now, but they still matter. The fact that The Raja Saab is dropping in Tam, Kan, and Mal versions right away shows how streaming platforms are thinking beyond regional boundaries. It’s no longer about where a film comes from—it’s about where it can go once it hits OTT.
So if you’re planning a late night, or you’re just someone who enjoys being part of the first-watch crowd, set that reminder. Come 12 AM, #TheRajaSaab will be ready to stream on Jio Hotstar, and judging by the buzz already floating around, it won’t be a quiet premiere.
Whether you watch it immediately or save it for the weekend, tonight marks a new chapter for the film—and for viewers, another reason to stay up a little later than planned.
