Well-known OTT platform Prime Video on Friday announced that it will start streaming its upcoming Telugu original comedy drama series ‘Sivarapalli’ from January 24 this year.
Produced under the banner of The Viral Fever (TVF), Sivarapalli is directed by Bhaskar Maurya and written by Shanmukh Prashant.
On Friday, Prime Video also released the trailer of a light-hearted series. Across eight episodes, Sivarapalli will offer a heart-warming glimpse of rural India, brought to life by an extremely talented cast, starring Raag Mayur, Muralidhar Gaur, Roopa Lakshmi, Uday Gurla, Sunny Palle and Pavani Karanam in the lead roles.
Sivarapalli is scheduled to premiere on January 24 exclusively on Prime Video in Telugu with English subtitles in India and over 240 countries and territories across the world.
Sivarapalli is a light-hearted story about a young man from a bustling city who finds himself grappling with the quirks of village life and its eccentric inhabitants. The story revolves around Shyam, an engineering graduate who unexpectedly lands the role of a Panchayat Secretary in the remote village Shivarapalli. Initially reluctant, as he tries to adapt to the unfamiliar environment, he is quickly thrown into a comedy of errors, full of ups and downs.
The trailer gives a glimpse of Shyam’s journey as he encounters unique but lovable villagers. Amidst the challenges and surprising moments of happiness, the question is, will Shyam find his footing in village life, or will it overwhelm him? Full of humour, heart and the indomitable spirit of its characters, the trailer beautifully captures the charm, chaos and warmth of rural life.
