Vikkatakavi is set to stream on Zee5 starting November 28, 2024. The team held a press meeting on Monday to discuss the series.
Producer Ram Talluri said, “Sai Tej narrated this story to me two years ago. At that time, we planned it as a feature film, but thanks to Zee5, it transformed into a web series. Watching the content made me feel immensely proud. Director Pradeep will earn great recognition and reach new heights. Everyone, from Sagar to Mahendra, worked hard on this project. Naresh is a wonderful person and deserves success. Megha Akash has delivered an outstanding performance. I wish the entire team all the best. Don’t miss Vikkatakavi on Zee5 starting November 28.”
Naresh Agastya shared, “I started my journey with the Zee5 serial Pasupu Kumkuma, and now I’m leading a web series. It’s been a joy working with Ram Talluri sir. I’m grateful to Desh Raj for offering me this role after watching me in Paruvu. Shoaib has captured us all brilliantly. This feels like the highest-quality series in Telugu so far. Our art director, Kiran, created incredible sets, and director Pradeep guided every detail. Megha Akash has acted beautifully, and I’m happy to have worked with her. Pradeep has crafted this web series amazingly.”
Megha Akash added, “Sai Tej has written an extraordinary story. I’m thankful to director Pradeep for offering me such a meaningful role. The direction team was very supportive. Working with Naresh was delightful—he’s a great person.”
Director Pradeep Maddali commented, “After Sarvam Shakthimayam, I was considering my next project and met Ram Talluri sir, who narrated this story. I loved it instantly, it’s a high-spanning story with amazing content. We assembled a fantastic team, including Shoaib’s cinematography, Ajay’s music, Gayathri’s costumes, and Kiran’s art direction. Naresh has delivered a fantastic performance, and I’ve admired Megha’s acting since her role in Dhanush Thoota. She played the role of Lakshmi beautifully in this series.”
Writer and director BVS Ravi stated, “I’ve already watched four episodes of Vikkatakavi, and it’s phenomenal. The music, cinematography, and costumes are exceptional. Ajay’s music stands out. Naresh and Megha have acted brilliantly. Amit’s role is captivating. Pradeep is destined for great success and will reach the next level as a director.”
Zee5 content head Sai Tej said, “Thanks to Ram Talluri sir’s encouragement, I was able to write stories like Vikkatakavi. When I presented the story to Zee5, they asked me to take on the role of content head. After the story was approved, we discussed directors, and I suggested Pradeep Maddali. Everyone believed he would deliver the best. Shoaib gave stunning visuals, Ajay provided fantastic background music, and Kiran’s art direction was brilliant. Naresh Agastya feels like the Sherlock Holmes of Telangana, and Megha Akash performed exceptionally.”
Zee5 business head Anuradha Guduru added, “We loved the story Sai narrated to us, especially the unpredictable climax. Ram Talluri elevated the project further. This series is sure to be a hot topic. Don’t miss it!”
Music director Ajay Arasada remarked, “When Pradeep narrated the script, I was thrilled and even gave a demo right away. Recently, I worked on a comedy-oriented film, but Vikkatakavi is completely different. The content inspired the music.”
Cinematographer Shoaib said, “I’m thankful to director Pradeep for giving me this opportunity. We’ve tried something unique for Vikkatakavi. Find out what it is on November 28th”
