MUMBAI: 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.
