India, July XX, 2024: ZEE5, India’s largest leading home video streaming platform, has officially announced that its upcoming original Telugu series ‘Bahishkarana’ series will go live on July 19. Directed by Mukesh Prajapati and produced by Prashanthi Malishetty under Pixel Pictures Pvt Ltd, the series stars Anjali, Ravindra Vijay, Ananya Nagalla, Sritej, Shanmuk, Mahbub Pasha and Chaitanya Chagiraju in lead roles. ‘Bahishkarana’ is a story that describes the compelling journey of a prostitute. The story unfolds in the backdrop of rural Guntur in the 1990s. The heroine living there as a prostitute, her real history, the events that happen to her, this series has developed into an unforgettable experience in the background of strong emotions.
In the 1990s, a seemingly normal day turns dark when Darshi, a simple woman living in the village of Bethapally, does not return from work. This event comes crashing down on the lives of two women, Pushpa, a prostitute, and Lakshmi, Darshi’s wife. The secrets that break to reveal the relationships between them are startling. The story travels through love, betrayal and shocking twists of fate. The sarpanch of the village, Sivaya, becomes the central figure in this complex drama, whose actions are set to turn lives upside down. Just when Pushpa and Lakshmi think they have endured the worst in life, they come face to face with one more shocking truth that forces them to question everything they know. But in a world where women’s choices are limited, can they find the strength to defy societal norms and create their own destiny? Watch ‘Bahishkarana’ to know more!
Producer Prashanthi Malisetty on behalf of Pixel Pictures Pvt Ltd said, “Working with Zee on Bahishkarana has been an amazing journey, giving us complete freedom to tell a story rooted in our soil, rooted in the village, in a production that will be enjoyed by a global audience. Anjali’s performance in Baahishkarana is something you have never seen before. And all the actors who have acted in this series have given a very brilliant performance. We had a lot of fun working on this piece. Our director Mukesh Prajapati is a passionate storyteller who has crafted this story with great subtlety and depth. At Pixel Pictures, we believe that ‘Content is King, but Context is God’ and with ‘Bahishkarana’, we have tried to create a story that reflects the realities of our society. With a nationally popular platform like ZEE5, we hope this series will reach all types of viewers living in every region. We look forward to many more such collaborations as we strive to create works that transcend the boundaries of storytelling and deliver new experiences.
Director Mukesh Prajapati said, “Bahishkarana” is a powerful story with complex characters that convey deep emotions. The heroine, Pushpa, has nothing to lose and accepts that life can be unfair, but is sure to be stormy when conflicted with calm and spirited like the ocean! Pushpa has many layers, and even when her story faces challenges, she is capable of overcoming them. Actress Anjali has brought Pushpa to life with her performance with her unique talent, . I am delighted to collaborate with ZEE5 and Pixel Pictures to bring this nuanced storytelling to the audience and take this opportunity to thank our talented cast for their dedication in portraying these complex characters with authenticity. We hope that “Bahishkarana” will create a huge impact on the audience across India.
The lead actress Anjali shared her thoughts on her role saying, “It was a very fulfilling experience for me to play Pushpa in Baahishkarana. The character’s journey from being an innocent prostitute to fighting with strength and courage against all odds was challenging and very inspiring. Pushpa is a woman of mystery, and her story is a testament to the bravery and courage it takes to right a wrong. I’m excited for ZEE5 viewers to witness her transformation and hope everyone loves her story as much as I do.”
