Massive Response For ZEE5’s “Mothevari Love Story” At Mega Preview; All Set For Grand Premiere On August 8<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Aiming to produce and support rooted content and filmmakers from the heartlands of Telugu states, India\u2019s leading OTT platform ZEE5, is now focusing on supporting local, authentic stories. Kicking off this journey, ZEE5 Telugu is launching “Mothevari Love Story”, a dramedy set in rural Telangana. Written and directed by Shiva Krishna Burra, the series will premiere exclusively on ZEE5 starting August 8.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starring YouTube sensation Anil Geela and Varshini in lead roles, Mothevari Love Story is set in Arepalli village and follows Parshi (Anil Geela), who falls in love with a girl from a neighbouring village. Their innocent romance takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of two elderly men, leading to a land dispute that triggers a series of humorous and emotional events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mothevari Love Story also stars Muralidhar, Sadanna, Sujatha, and others in prominent roles. The series is produced by Madhura Sreedhar and Sriram Srikanth, with Sreekanth Arupula handling cinematography, Anil Geela as the editor, and Charan Arjun composing the music. Sriram Prashanth and Anil Geela served as Executive Producers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier today, the first four episodes of the series were screened for select media members and audiences in Hyderabad, receiving a warm and positive response. The cast and crew were present at the premiere, and renowned philanthropist Kandakatla Siddu Reddy graced the event as the chief guest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, Siddu Reddy<\/span> shared, \u201cMothevari Love Story doesn\u2019t feel like a web series, it feels like a movie. These creators come from the very sands of the Telangana heartland. The story starts light but builds emotional depth by the fourth episode. I hope Anil and his team continue to bring such rooted stories to life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lead actor Anil Geela<\/span> said, \u201cThis is not just six months of work\u2014it\u2019s an eight-year journey. Our My Village Show team worked selflessly. With Madhura Sreedhar garu\u2019s push, the project picked up pace. Four episodes were screened today, and all seven episodes will be released on August 8. Our rural audience will contribute greatly to ZEE5 subscriptions this year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lead actress Varshini<\/span> said, \u201cThanks to Shiva garu for trusting me. Please watch the show, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll enjoy it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Producer Madhura Sreedhar Reddy<\/span> stated, \u201cZEE5 supporting such rooted stories is commendable. Every actor, especially Sadanna, shines in this project. I\u2019ve known Charan Arjun since Sneha Geetham, and I\u2019m happy to see him compose music for this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Producer Sriram Srikanth<\/span> noted, \u201cInitially, I planned to produce this alone. But with an OTT platform like ZEE5 involved, I needed support. That\u2019s when Madhura Sreedhar garu came in. Charan Arjun is another pillar of the show. I believe Mothevari Love Story is a stepping stone toward building a Pixar-like banner from a village.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

ZEE5 Telugu’s Vice President Deshraj Sai Teja<\/span> said, \u201cLast year, we envisioned telling rooted stories from every region. Telugu has many dialects, and every region deserves a story. When we thought of this idea, My Village Show came to mind. We collaborated with Anil earlier on Hello World, and now on Mothevari Love Story. We urge everyone to watch it on ZEE5 and not resort to piracy. We\u2019re also launching a writers\u2019 room to support storytellers from across the Telugu states. We want more Anil Geelas and Gangavvas to emerge.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Music Director Charan Arjun<\/span> stated, \u201cPeople ask why I don\u2019t work with big heroes, now I can say I\u2019ve worked with a future star, Anil. Everyone in this show is a hero. I\u2019m glad audiences are connecting with the music.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Cinematographer Srikanth Arupula<\/span> added, \u201cDirector Shiva couldn\u2019t attend as he\u2019s busy with re-recording. We\u2019ve been working day and night for the past week. This story is close to our hearts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lyricist Ganguprasad<\/span> said, \u201cAnil and Shiva gave me my first chance. Charan Anna guided me in songwriting. I hope for more such opportunities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Actress Manasi<\/span> expressed gratitude by saying, \u201cThough I\u2019m not fluent in Telugu, Shiva believed in me and trained me in the dialect.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Actor Raju<\/span> also shared his happiness of being a part of this show by stating, \u201cThis is my first project with ZEE5. I\u2019m thankful for the opportunity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Actor Sadanna<\/span> said, \u201cThank you for this opportunity. I hope more such rural stories follow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Actor Ravichandra<\/span> shared, \u201cI\u2019m a priest by profession. I thank Anil for this opportunity. Everyone on this stage has a bright future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The team also interacted with the media after the screening. Here are the excerpts:<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: The show feels like a film. Was it ever considered for theatrical release?<\/span>
\nAnil:<\/span> It was a pre-approved web series script by ZEE5, but we always dreamt of making content for the big screen. That\u2019s why it feels cinematic\u2014thanks to Charan Arjun\u2019s music and Srikanth\u2019s visuals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What sets *Mothevari Love Story apart from other village-based stories?<\/span>
\nAnil:<\/span> Three things\u2014raw performances by non-actors, cinematography that feels cinematic, bringing out the true visuals of rural Telangana, and authentic dialects spoken naturally.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: How do you feel about the journey from YouTube to OTT and now toward cinema?<\/span>
\nAnil:<\/span> It\u2019s been possible only because of the team\u2019s and audience\u2019s unwavering support.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What are ZEE5\u2019s future plans for regional content?<\/span>
\nDeshraj Sai Teja:<\/span> While we are known for thrillers, we want to explore multiple genres. Mothevari Love Story is set in Karimnagar. Our next projects will be based in Nellore and Bhimavaram, capturing different backdrops and introducing new talent.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
