Following a successful theatrical run, the Kannada blockbuster Agnyathavasi will make its global digital debut on ZEE5. The film’s thrilling story, haunting setting, and powerful acting have garnered widespread acclaim.
The film, directed by Janardhan Chikkanna and scripted by Krishna Raj, is produced by Hemanth M Rao, Prachura P P, and Jayalakshmi, featuring the veteran actor Rangayana Raghu in a career-defining role.
Agnyathavasi Set to Debut On ZEE5 on May 28, Following Its Hit Performance In Theaters
Agnyathavasi unfolds in the misty village of Nalkeri, located in Karnataka’s Malenadu region, following a reclusive police inspector (Rangayana Raghu) who has spent many years farming while his police station remained inactive, until the mysterious death of a prominent village scholar, Srinivas Iyer, breaks the calm.
With suspicions of foul play coming to light, the inspector reopens a chapter of the past that had been buried for years, drawing unsettling parallels to a murder from the 1970s.
Joined by a young tech enthusiast who introduces the village’s first computer, and a woman still holding on to an unresolved love story, the probe slowly exposes a community tangled in secrets, superstition, and a dark force known as Pashambara. Is this case more than just a murder mystery?
“For me, Agnyathavasi is one of the most special projects I’ve worked on,” says Rangayana Raghu. “The role of a police inspector who’s more comfortable with livestock than with crime, working in a long-forgotten station, was uniquely refreshing and emotionally rich. This story is a layered, nostalgic journey into a village where every silence is meaningful, and every whisper is a clue.”
Fans’ affection following the theatrical debut has been truly touching—I’ve received numerous messages about how the film chilled and moved them emotionally, even within the same scene! Now, I look forward to the digital audience experiencing this on ZEE5. So, sit comfortably, slow down, and immerse yourself in the mystery of Nalkeri.
Don’t miss out, Agnyathavasi’s haunting mystery will premiere exclusively on ZEE5 beginning May 28, 2025.
