Mumbai witnessed a chillingly glamorous evening as actors Rajesh Mapuskar, Rutuja Bagwe, Kishor Kadam, Shubhankar Tawde, and several other celebrities graced the red carpet for the premiere of Andhar Maya, ZEE5’s first-ever Marathi-language horror original. Held last night, the event brought together cast, crew, and industry insiders to celebrate the groundbreaking launch of a genre not often explored in Marathi digital content.
Directed by Bhimrao Mude and produced by Sharmishtha Raut and Tejas Desai under the Ericon Telefilms banner, Andhar Maya promises an eerie, gripping narrative steeped in psychological tension and supernatural intrigue. The story and dialogues are penned by Pralhad Kudtarkar, with the screenplay crafted by Kapil Bhopatkar—setting the stage for a layered and suspenseful horror experience.
The series follows the Khatu family as they return to their ancestral home, only to find themselves caught in a web of disturbing and unexplained events. With a strong ensemble cast that includes Kishor Kadam, Rutuja Bagwe, Shubhankar Tawde, Swapnalee Patil, and others, Andhar Maya blends traditional horror elements with a culturally rooted Marathi setting—making it a fresh and spine-tingling addition to the regional OTT space.
Andhar Maya is set to premiere exclusively on ZEE5 on May 30, 2025, and marks a bold step forward for Marathi web content. As the genre continues to evolve on digital platforms, this series is poised to deliver atmospheric storytelling and nerve-jangling suspense for audiences ready to explore the haunted corridors of regional horror.
