ZEE5 Scores Big with ‘Viraatapalem’; Gears Up for Digital Premiere of ‘Bhairavam’

India’s largest homegrown video streaming platform, ZEE5, continues its winning streak with bold, innovative, and authentic content. The platform’s latest original, “Viraatapalem: PC Meena Reporting,” a supernatural thriller, has struck gold by crossing 50 million streaming minutes, quickly emerging as a binge-worthy favourite for viewers across the country.

Directed by Krishna Poluru and produced by KV Sriram, the series stars Abhignya Vuthaluru as PC Meena — a determined police constable who arrives in the eerie and superstitious village of Viraatapalem. As she begins investigating a string of mysterious deaths, she teams up with a reformed convict, leading the story into a gripping battle against dark forces haunting the village. With high-stakes suspense, tight storytelling, and standout performances — including Charan Lakkaraju in a key role — the show has garnered both critical acclaim and audience love since its premiere on June 26.

ZEE5 to Premiere Box Office Hit ‘Bhairavam’ Soon

Building on this momentum, ZEE5 is now set to bring the recent Telugu theatrical success “Bhairavam” to digital audiences. The platform, which earlier delivered crowd-pleasers like Sankranthiki Vasthunnam and Robinhood, continues to deliver back-to-back hits in regional content.

“Bhairavam” is a rural drama steeped in themes of friendship, loyalty, and brotherhood, featuring an ensemble cast led by Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, Manchu Manoj, and Nara Rohit. Directed by Vijay Kanakamedala, the film narrates the emotional journey of three childhood friends whose bond is tested by life-altering challenges. After a strong run at the box office, the film is now set to reach a wider audience through ZEE5’s vast subscriber base.
