The success of Save The Tigers 3 on JioHotstar is yet another reminder of how strongly Mahi V Raghav understands the streaming space. Released on June 19, 2026, the latest season has registered massive viewership within days, extending the franchise’s popularity and emerging as one of the biggest Telugu OTT successes of recent times.
In an industry where sequels often struggle to recreate the magic of earlier installments, Save The Tigers 3 has managed to sustain audience interest and deliver strong engagement. More importantly, it adds another success story to Mahi’s growing OTT portfolio, which already includes the first two seasons of Save The Tigers and the acclaimed thriller Shaitan.
Known for films such as Anando Brahma and Yatra, Mahi has steadily carved out a unique space for himself in long-form storytelling. His projects consistently blend accessibility with strong narrative hooks, helping him build a rare success streak in the digital space.
What makes the achievement even more noteworthy is the ecosystem in which he operates. As Mahi recently pointed out, “India has no television series tradition. Which is why we don’t have an evolved OTT culture.” Despite that limitation, he continues to create content designed specifically for streaming audiences rather than simply adapting conventional film formulas.
That vision is reflected in the approach of his banner, Three Autumn Leaves. The production house has focused on building original regional IPs and exploring innovative business models, a strategy that is helping Telugu OTT content find both scale and sustained audience interest.
