Get ready for a captivating new series! ZEE5, in an exciting partnership with PRK Productions, has officially unveiled “Maarigallu,” an upcoming Kannada original web series.
According to the creators, “Maarigallu” is a compelling divine folklore thriller that takes viewers back to the 1990s. Its narrative is deeply inspired by the ancient legend of a long-lost treasure belonging to the Kadamba dynasty. This intriguing storyline harks back to the glorious era of Mayura Sharma, who was the first king of Karnataka and under whose reign the dynasty flourished.
Ancient tales speak of a hidden treasure from the formidable Kadamba Dynasty, which has been lost for centuries and is believed to be under the vigilant protection of Maari, the revered guardian deity of the region. “Maarigallu” promises to weave a compelling narrative filled with elements of greed, betrayal, unwavering faith, and predetermined destiny. As the mystery unravels, the series will seamlessly blend rich cultural heritage with nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat drama.
Ashwini Puneeth Rajkumar, the esteemed producer, shared her enthusiasm for the series: “At PRK Productions, we have always been dedicated to bringing stories that resonate deeply with our audience while staying true to our cherished traditions. ‘Maarigallu’ is a remarkable blend of suspense and mystery, beautifully celebrating the vibrant culture and traditions of Karnataka.”
She added, “With this series, our aim is to offer viewers both engaging entertainment and a profound sense of cultural pride. Our collaboration with ZEE5 to tell this story makes it even more special, as it truly embodies ‘namma bhashe, namma kathaegalu’ (our language, our stories).”
Deepak Sriramulu, Business Head for Kannada ZEE5, expressed his excitement: “‘Maarigallu’ is a groundbreaking project, unlike anything we’ve ventured into before. It’s a divine folklore thriller that brilliantly brings Karnataka’s legendary tales to life in a way that is mysterious, deeply emotional, and profoundly rooted in our culture. The enthralling story of the lost Kadamba treasure, safeguarded by ancient faith and folklore, gives this series a distinctive edge. We are incredibly eager for audiences to embark on this extraordinary journey with us on ZEE5.”
