'Newsense' is the title of an upcoming Aha Original set to stream from May 12. Starring Navdeep and Bindu Madhavi as journalists in a romantic relationship, it is created and directed by Sri Prawin Kumar.
The trailer for the media thriller set in Madanapalle was released on Sunday. Racy and semi-dark, the web show appears to have a lot of potential.
Is it a sign that Aha Video, the Telugu-only OTT platform, is getting back to form? The streaming platform needs to present content that befits a theatrical release and 'Newsense' could be coming as the answer.
People Media Factory, which recently delivered two flops (read 'Rama Banam' and 'Phalana Abbayi Phalana Ammayi'), is promoting 'Newsense' with enthusiasm. Navdeep, who has been waiting for a solid hit, is taking bold questions. The other day, at a promotional event, Navdeep was asked if it is true that he is gay. The idea was to elicit his views on media-fuelled gossip about him.
Co-produced by Vivek Kuchibotla, the show has music by Suresh Bobbili of 'Virata Parvam' fame.
