India, July 09 2025: ZEE5, India’s largest home-grown video streaming platform and a multilingual storyteller, is all set to serve up a hearty dose of drama, comedy, and culture with its upcoming Telugu original Mothevari Love Story, premiering on August 08. Starring Anil Geela and Varshini Reddy Junnuthula in lead roles, and directed by the brilliantly witty Shiva Krishna Burra, this seven-part series is a vibrant tale rooted in rural Telangana, where one family’s secrets spark a chain reaction of hilarious chaos. Backed by Village Show Movies, the show promises a rollercoaster of emotions, traditions, and unexpected twists — all beginning with one marriage that turns into everyone’s business.
Ahead of the premiere, the makers unveiled the official poster and title of the series at a special event held on July 9th. Actor Anand Deverakonda graced the occasion and officially launched the poster and the title, adding his charm to this vibrant rural rom-com.
In the heart of rural Telangana lies the chaotic village of Lambadipalli, where two inseparable Yadav brothers suddenly find their world turned upside down after discovering that their late father left five acres of land to a mysterious woman from his past. What begins as a simple land dispute spirals into a laugh-out-loud love saga when Sattayya’s daughter Anitha (Varshini Reddy Junnuthula) and Anumavva’s grandson Parshi (Anil Geela), who’ve been secretly in love—get caught in the crossfire. With family pride, inheritance, and unexpected romance all tangled together, one brother hatches a wild plan, the other plots sabotage, and the lovers try to outrun it all. But just when it seems like love might win... a shocking twist threatens to uproot everything. What happens when land, legacy, and love collide?
Anand Deverakonda, who unveiled the poster and title of the series, said, “Stories like Mothevari Love Story are a reminder of how entertaining and heartfelt our rural tales can be. It’s got love, madness, drama — all wrapped in that rustic Telangana charm. I had a great time launching the poster and title, and I’m sure this one’s going to strike a chord with audiences on ZEE5!”
Anuradha Gudur, Telugu Zee5’s Business Head shares, “At ZEE5, we are always searching for stories that connect deeply with the audience and entertain, engage, and leave a lasting impact. Mothevari Love Story is one such series. While the narrative is rooted in Telangana culture, its themes and emotions resonate just as strongly across Andhra and Rayalaseema. It’s a mass-oriented story that blends the warmth of a family drama, the charm of a rustic rom-com, and the emotion of a timeless love tale."
Director Shiva Krishna Burra mentioned, “With Mothevari Love Story, my aim was to capture the soul of rural Telangana — its humour, its warmth, its emotional complexity. I didn’t want to just tell a love story; I wanted to show how deeply family, pride, tradition, and personal choices are all intertwined in our villages. We shot the series in real locations, with real people around us, and that gave the show a kind of raw charm and honesty that I believe viewers will instantly connect with. At its heart, this is a story about how greed can break the strongest bonds, and how love — in all its messy, unpredictable glory — finds a way to heal. The characters are flawed, funny, and incredibly human. That’s the beauty of this show — it makes you laugh, think, and maybe even reflect a little.”
Anil Geela who essays the role of Parshi expressed his excitement, “Parshi is wild, unpredictable, and madly in love — just the kind of character every actor dreams of playing! I had an absolute blast shooting this show because every scene brought something unexpected. From failed elopements to village panchayats to full-blown wedding chaos, it’s been a laugh riot. What I love most is how real the setting feels — like you’ve stepped into a living, breathing Telangana village. I think audiences are going to fall in love with Parshi’s madness, his jugaad, and his very filmy idea of love.”
Mark your calendars and watch ZEE5 Original rom-com, ‘Mothevari Love Story’, streaming from August 08!
