Varun Sandesh Steps Into OTT With Psychological Thriller ‘Nayanam’

Varun Sandesh is all set to make a powerful OTT debut with ZEE5’s upcoming Telugu original series ‘Nayanam’, premiering on December 19. Marking a significant shift in his career, Varun takes on one of his most intense and psychologically layered roles yet — Dr. Nayan, a character far removed from his earlier on-screen persona.

Directed by Swathi Prakash, Nayanam is a gripping psychological thriller that explores the fragile boundaries between truth, obsession and the darker corners of the human mind. The six-episode series promises a tense, immersive experience where every moment pushes the audience deeper into Dr. Nayan’s mysterious world.

Expressing his excitement about the poster launch and his digital transformation, Varun Sandesh said: “This is a completely new chapter for me. The character of Dr. Nayan challenged me in ways I’ve never experienced before, and the poster reflects just a glimpse of that intensity. OTT gives us the freedom to explore characters in more depth, and I’m thrilled to begin this journey with Telugu ZEE5.”

ZEE5, India’s largest homegrown streaming platform, officially announced the series today, highlighting Varun’s much-awaited entry into the digital space. With its psychological depth and engaging narrative style, Nayanam is poised to be a standout addition to ZEE5’s Telugu originals lineup.
