According to the official synopsis, the eight-episode series follows “an ambitious and successful journalist Sagar (Naga Chaitanya) who finds himself engulfed by supernatural events that are at the nexus of many mysterious and gruesome deaths, and are now shadowing over his family.”

“We’re thrilled to broaden our regional portfolio with Dhootha, our first long-format Telugu Original. Helmed by national award-winning director Vikram Kumar, the series unfolds as an atmospheric, supernatural thriller – a mesmerizing tapestry of tension and mystery that holds viewers spellbound until the very end. What adds to the allure is our outstanding cast, led by Naga Chaitanya Akkineni, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Priya Bhavani Shankar, and Prachi Desai. Their performances breathe life into the intricately layered and unpredictable narrative,” said Aparna Purohit, head of Originals, India & Southeast Asia, Prime Video.

Naga Chaitanya was last seen in Venkat Prabhu’s Tamil-Telugu bilingual Custody, which didn’t yield the desired result for both the actor and the makers. It is one of the many failures of Chaitanya, who is yet to get on a winning streak since his debut. The actor also has a film tentatively titled N23 in the pipeline. Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, the movie also stars Sai Pallavi in the lead role.
