The teaser for the upcoming Telugu web series, "Devika & Danny," starring Ritu Varma and Surya Vasishtta, has been released, generating considerable buzz. The series is set to stream on JioCinema (formerly Jio Hotstar).
"Devika & Danny" is a social romantic drama produced by Joy Films, marking the production debut of Sudhakar Chaganti. The series is directed by B. Kishore, known for his work in "Sreekaram".
The teaser introduces Devika Nandan, played by Ritu Varma, as a school teacher whose life revolves around her home and school. She is portrayed as a middle-class girl living a life confined to a small world, and the teaser suggests that she compromises on many aspects of her life, including her marriage. The narrative takes a turn when Danny, played by Surya Vasishtta, enters her life, setting the stage for unexpected events. The teaser opens with Danny attempting suicide, adding an element of intrigue. The central questions posed by the teaser are: What happens to Devika after meeting Danny, and why did Danny try to end his life?
Ritu Varma's role as Devika Nandan is highly anticipated, especially after the lukewarm reception to her previous film, "Mazaka". The series is penned by Deepak Raj, known for his work on "Race Gurram". The music is composed by Jay Krish, who also worked on "Ashokavanam Lo Arjuna Kalyanam".
The series boasts a supporting cast including Shiva Kandukuri, Subbaraju, Kovai Sarala, Soniya Singh, Gokaraju Ramana, Viva Harsha, Mounika Reddy and Chaganti Sudhakar. Kovai Sarala's return to Tollywood after 6 years is also noteworthy.
The production values of "Devika & Danny" appear grand, and the series has completed its shooting and is currently in post-production. Joy Films is aiming to establish a strong presence in the digital content space with high-quality entertainment. The realistic narration and fun proceedings are expected to be major highlights of the series. The release date is yet to be announced.
