Set against the backdrop of the 1980s in the remote, fear-laden village of Viraatapalem, a haunting curse has cast a shadow as every bride mysteriously perishes on her wedding day.
No weddings have occurred for over ten years. The village is engulfed in terror, with its inhabitants dwindled to the very young and the very old. When an intrepid police constable (Abhignya Vuthaluru) arrives, she boldly challenges the existence of the curse. Joining forces with a rehabilitated convict, she begins to unravel a mystery that the village seeks to keep buried...
Discussing the series, director Krishna Poluru remarked, “‘Viraatapalem: PC Meena Reporting’ is set in a village gripped by a chilling curse that has halted weddings for over a decade, with every bride meeting a mysterious fate on her wedding day. This belief has morphed into dread, leading to silence. This series aims to shatter that silence. We have crafted a universe that feels authentic, eerie, and emotionally resonant, where one woman dares to inquire about the truth that everyone else fears.”
Producer KV Sriram of South Indian Screens stated, “This narrative captivated me from the outset; it’s haunting, intricate, and deeply intertwined with the fears that many communities harbor quietly. As someone with extensive experience in storytelling for television and portraying characters, this project allowed me to delve into something atmospheric and grounded. I am proud of the compelling world we have crafted with this series: mysterious, tense, and emotionally authentic, and I eagerly anticipate audiences experiencing it.”
Abhignya Vuthaluru commented, “Participating in this project was both intense and rewarding. The character required sensitivity, strength, and vulnerability, especially in a world that often prioritizes fear over facts. Filming in the village, amidst genuine locations and people, lent the entire experience a rawness that I believe audiences will appreciate.”
