ZEE5 has announced its next Telugu original series, Nayanam, a gripping psychological thriller that is set to premiere on December 19. The series, directed by Swathi Prakash, promises to take a deep look at the human mind, blurring the lines between truth, illusion, and obsession.

Actor Varun Sandesh makes his long-awaited debut in the OTT space with Nayanam. This is a big change from the romantic and youthful roles he is known for. He plays Dr. Nayan in the six-episode series, a character with a lot of emotional and psychological depth that shows a whole new side of the actor.

Varun made a mark for himself on the big screen with films like Happy Days and Kothha Bangaru Lokam but could not become a successful mainstream hero. But after a long break, he is back into cinema and OTTs too.

Varun Sandesh was excited to step into this darker world when he showed off the first-look poster. "This is a whole new chapter for me. The character of Dr. Nayan pushed me in ways I've never been pushed before, and the poster only shows a small part of how intense it was. OTT lets us get to know characters better, and I'm excited to start this journey with Telugu ZEE5," he said.

Nayanam promises a tense, atmospheric story with great acting and a plot that keeps viewers guessing what will happen next. As the platform adds more Telugu content, this series is likely to get a lot of attention from both thriller fans and Varun Sandesh fans. The truth about Nayanam will be revealed when the series starts on ZEE5 on December 19.
