The wait is over! The trailer of Mayasabha drops today, and all eyes are on Sai Kumar, who takes on the iconic role of Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR). Directed by Deva Katta, this high-voltage political drama will begin streaming on Sony LIV and OTTplay Premium from August 7, 2025.
Sai Kumar’s NTR Avatar Set to Explode on Screen
The makers recently released Sai Kumar’s first-look poster, where he channels NTR’s legendary wave with striking resemblance. His intense expressions and regal body language already hint at a power-packed performance. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how Sai Kumar brings NTR to life in the trailer. Known for his thunderous voice and commanding presence, Sai Kumar looks all set to deliver a stunning portrayal of the political titan.
Deva Katta, who earlier gave Sai Kumar meaty roles in Prasthanam and Autonagar Surya, once again puts his trust in the veteran. Industry insiders say this could turn out to be one of Sai Kumar’s most memorable roles yet.
Inspired by Political Titans of Andhra Pradesh
Though Deva Katta labels Mayasabha a fictional tale, the storyline clearly draws inspiration from the lives of Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Y. S. Rajasekhar Reddy. The show features Aadhi Pinisetty as Naidu and Chaitanya Rao as YSR, while Sai Kumar leads as NTR.
Set in the politically intense 1990s, the series dives into dramatic events, emotional confrontations, and behind-the-scenes political maneuvering. The story explores the power struggles and legacy-building of three political giants.
Deva Katta Brands Mayasabha as “Poor Man’s RRR”
In a recent interaction, Deva Katta declared, “Mayasabha is a poor man’s RRR.” He admitted that although he dreamt of creating a large-scale film like RRR, he poured every bit of his energy into crafting this web series. He promises viewers a thrilling mix of emotion, drama, and political firepower.
Actor Sai Dharam Tej will unveil the trailer today, creating even more buzz around the launch. Interestingly, the team originally envisioned Mayasabha as a feature film. But after realizing the depth of the content, they shifted it to an OTT format to do justice to the expansive narrative.
Buzz, Backlash, and Sky-High Expectations
Ever since the teaser went live, Mayasabha has stirred controversy. Supporters of the political figures depicted in the show have raised questions about factual accuracy. Despite the noise, the makers have chosen to stay silent, letting curiosity grow organically.
Mayasabha continues to dominate headlines as one of the most anticipated Telugu web series of the year. With bold storytelling, real-life parallels, and a stellar cast, the series looks ready to make a massive impact.
Watch out for the trailer today and gear up for the premiere on August 7, 2025.
