Prime Video, India’s most loved entertainment destination, hosted the World Premiere of its first-ever celebrity chat show, The Rana Daggubati Show, at the prestigious 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) on November 21. The first episode of the unscripted Telugu Original series, featuring Nani, Teja Sajja, and Priyanka Arulmohan, received a remarkable reception from the audience present in the packed auditorium at the special screening, just days before its worldwide launch on the service. Created and hosted by the charismatic Rana Daggubati and executive produced by him under the banner of Spirit Media, the show will feature a dazzling line-up of guests, including Nani, Dulquer Salmaan, Naga Chaitanya Akkineni, S.S. Rajamouli, Ram Gopal Varma, Rishab Shetty, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Sreeleela, and many more celebrities over eight extremely entertaining episodes. The Rana Daggubati Show will premiere exclusively on Prime Video starting November 23 in India and across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide, with new episodes dropping every Saturday. 

The World Premiere was attended by over 250 cinephiles, who were also treated to an interactive conversation with Rana as he delved into the series and shared insightful nuggets about his guests’ journeys in the world of entertainment. Also present at the screening along with Rana Daggubati were Sonal Kabi, Director & Head – Marketing, Prime Video, India, and esteemed dignitaries from the festival, including Smt. Shilpa Rao Tenugula – Director (Films), Ministry of I&B, Shri Tarun Talreja, GM – Production & Distribution at NFDC, Ministry of I&B, and Smt. Delilah Lobo – Vice Chairperson, Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG).

The Rana Daggubati Show breaks the mould of conventional chat shows and gives the audience a tantalizing peek into the lives of their favorite stars. From spilling the tea with Dulquer to souping up cars with Naga Chaitanya, from baking wood-fired pizzas with Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Sreeleela to ambushing Rajamouli at his outdoor shoot location, the show and Rana bring out a never-seen-before side of his guests.

"Never imagined that The Rana Daggubati Show would be screened in front of such a lovely audience at the prestigious IFFI, at its 55th edition. We've changed the format of a talk show, removing the screen between the celebrities and fans. I'm grateful to Prime Video for being excellent partners. And I can't wait for audiences across the world to watch the show when it launches on November 23,” said Rana Daggubati, host, creator, and executive producer of the show.
