Zee5 is now ready with a new Original on OTT. It is ‘Puli-Meka’. Versatile actress Lavanya Tripathi is making her OTT debut with this Original.
A day after the thriller’s teaser was released digitally via Mega Power Star Ram Charan, the makers today put out a special video glimpse that establishes Lavanya’s character as a heroic one. We see the actress, who is playing an IPS officer named Kiran Prabha, unleash her fury against a religious backdrop. She is shown as an angry Goddess. The Ammoru-like staging lends a touch of mythical force to her character. The Good Vs Evil theme is highlighted without a single line being uttered. Lavanya has given her best for a role that is expressive and also involves physicality. The stunts and the emotional action are praiseworthy.
The teaser, released earlier, introduced the premise effectively. A monster is on the loose in the city, killing one person after another. The mystery serial killer has to be nabbed by a Special Investigation Team. Aadi Saikumar has a key role.
The thriller will start streaming on ZEE5 on February 24. Director K Chakravarthy Reddy shows a thorough grasp of the craft.
