Naga Chaitanya made his digital debut with the horror-thriller web series Dhootha, directed by Vikram K. Kumar. The series, which premiered on Prime Video, turned out to be a massive success, attracting record-breaking viewership. The show was well-received by critics and gave a significant boost to Chaitanya’s career after a string of less successful films.
According to recent social media buzz, Chaitanya is likely to star in another web series, tentatively titled Maya Sabha, under the direction of Deva Katta. Chaitanya and Katta had previously collaborated on the political action film Autonagar Surya, and it is rumored that their upcoming project will also be in the political drama genre.
There are speculations that Aadhi Pinishetty will co-star in the series, which is said to be inspired by the political journeys of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and the late YS Rajasekhar Reddy. Reports suggest that the series will be released on Sony LIV, though no official confirmation has been made yet. It remains to be seen if Chaitanya will continue focusing on digital content or return to feature films.
