On Thursday, ZEE5 announced a new Telugu-language web series. Titled ‘ATM’, the same is produced by ace Tollywood producer Dil Raju, who is debuting on OTT. With the story by Harish Shankar, the series will be directed by C Chandra Mohan of ‘Radha’ fame.

Speaking on the occasion, star director Harish Shankar said that one Kalyan made him write the web series for OTT. “I wanted to debut with a strong idea in the OTT space. When the idea for ‘ATM’ crossed my mind, I resolved to develop it into a story. An episode-wise narration was later given by director Chandra Mohan to me. The director is a passionate technician. Every visual, every diction, every shot.. he can narrate them clearly. I could have trusted only Dil Raju anna for this movie. Hanshitha and Harshith Reddy are also producing the series. I thank ZEE5 for providing us with this platform,” the director added.

Dil Raju said, “I wanted to do something new on OTT. The next generation at Sri Venkateswara Creations has been waiting for long to take a plunge. Harshith and Hanshitha were ready to take over. The audience have expectations from us. I and Shirish have told the Harshith-Hanshitha duo to live up to the expectations. During the pandemic, there has been a change in the audience’s tastes. When Harish Shankar told me he has an idea for a web series and that ‘Radha’ director Chandra Mohan would like to direct it, I was open to listening to the script. I have had a rapport with ZEE5. ‘ATM’ will have the Harish Shankar-style entertainment. This is a uniquely entertaining web series that will leave you with a smile.”

Dil Raju and ZEE5 have collaborated for the series.
