According to reports, users from across India logged in to watch the Prabhudeva directorial at 12 noon, which resulted in heavy traffic that the ZEE5 platform was unable to support. It is unsure if there were technical glitches on the platform as well.
The streamer posted on Twitter, “Thank you for the unprecedented love. We are fixing the issues and will be back soon.”
While some users were able to stream the full movie without interruption, several others were still left waiting for the service to resume.
Along with Salman Khan, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, also stars Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda, Megha Akash and Jackie Shroff in pivotal roles.
