Dayaa: Disney+ Hotstar’s Telugu show, helmed by Pavan Sadineni, to star JD Chakravarthy; here’s the first poster

Leading OTT platform Disney+ Hotstar, which came up with Jhansi Season 2, Dead Pixels and Save The Tigers this year, is back with a slew of new Telugu shows. While their upcoming crime thriller Shaitan, directed by Mahi V Raghav, is set to release on June 15, the streamer has announced another show Dayaa and unveiled its first poster on Friday.

“One moment changes his fate. Can Dayaa drive his way out. Directed by @pavansadineni, #DayaaOnHotstar coming soon. More details tomorrow! @SVFsocial,” the streamer wrote, while sharing the poster of a van with blood stains in the path. The Pavan Sadineni directorial stars JD Chakravarthy, Eesha Rebba, Remya Nambeesan, Prudhvi Raj, Kamal Kamaraju, Josh Ravi in key roles.

SVF, a leading Bengali production house that’s a pioneer in the digital space, forays into the Telugu market with Dayaa. The show is touted to be a crime thriller tracing the highs and lows in the life of a mortuary van driver, who comes across an unclaimed dead body in his vehicle under mysterious circumstances. How far can he go to prove his innocence?

The makers are immensely confident of the show, which has already wrapped its shoot and a major chunk of the post-production formalities. This is by all means a perfect comeback vehicle for Bombai Priyudu, Gulabi actor JD Chakravarthy, who’ll be seen in an out and out action avatar. The show’s USP is believed to be its strong writing, layered characterisation and its technical appeal.

Pavan Sadineni isn’t new to the digital space, having directed OTT projects like Senapathi, Commitmental, Ee Office Lo and PillA in the past. His last release, Senapathi, on aha, released to glowing reviews and he hopes to continue his winning momentum with Dayaa. Apart from the show, he’s also directing Rajashekar’s action drama Monster, slated to go on floors soon.
