Lavanya Tripathi has a heroic role in ZEE5 Original ‘Puli-Mek’
*A special glimpse of Lavanya’s character unveiled*
Hyderabad, 18th February, 2023: ZEE5 has been relentlessly dishing out a wide variety of content in various formats in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali and other languages. ZEE5 has made a name for itself nationwide as a prominent streaming platform since its inception. After presenting the comedy-drama ‘Oka Chinna Family Story’ from Pink Elephant Pictures, ‘Loser 2’ from Annapurna Studios stable, ‘Gaalivaana’ from BBC Studios and NorthStar Entertainment, ‘Recce’, ‘Hello World’, ‘Maa Neella Tank’, ‘Aha Naa Pellanta’ and most recently ‘ATM’, it is now ready with a new Original.
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.
