The trailer of Mothevari Love Story, a rooted Telangana original series, was unveiled on Sunday evening at an event in Hyderabad. Filmmaker Tharun Bhascker launched the trailer and wished the team great success.
Directed by Shiva Krishna Burra, the series is set to premiere on Zee5 from August 8. It is jointly produced by Madhura Entertainment and My Village Show in association with Zee5.
Popular YouTube sensation Anil Geela stars opposite Varshini in the lead roles. Set in the rural backdrop of Telangana, the story follows Parshi (played by Anil Geela) from Arepalli village, who falls in love with a girl from a neighbouring village. Their budding romance takes an unexpected turn when two elderly men arrive, sparking a land dispute that leads to a mix of humorous and emotional incidents. Noted actor Priyadarshi lent his voice to the trailer. “Mothevari Love Story will pave the way for many rural Telangana stories in the future. The team has done a fantastic job. The show has come out very well and you will definitely be entertained,” said producer Madhura Sridhar.
Director Shiva Krishna Burra reflected on the journey, saying, “Cinema was never my priority. I was preparing for Group II exams at RTC X Roads and the OU campus. But cinema changed everything. Watching this trailer makes me feel ecstatic. We started with a mobile phone and today we are here. Every actor and technician gave their heart to this series.” Lead actor Anil Geela added, “We’ve been striving for years, despite not being from the industry. I left my teaching job to pursue this. Our success is not overnight—it’s a process. Zee5 supported us unconditionally. Anand Anna launched the poster, Priyadarshi Anna gave the voiceover and Tharun Anna came today with just one invite. That love keeps us going.”
