The trailer for the next thriller web series “Athang” from Planet Marathi OTT was unveiled with much fanfare on a special occasion. Shri Raj Thackeray, along with the rest of the series actors, attended the event to unveil the eagerly anticipated teaser as a special guest.

Raj Thackeray said, “We must proudly showcase the culture, arts, and cinema of our state Maharashtra. It’s wonderful that we can now compete successfully in the online world thanks to the talented people in our state. I salute the group for their excellent work”.

The teaser offers a fascinating look at a dark period drama with complex and evil characters. As each performer assumes an edgy, unnerving persona, the conversations are razor-sharp and spine-chilling, adding to the unpleasant cinematic atmosphere. The quaint, antiquated world of “waadaas” and undiscovered secrets will captivate viewers.

Athang’s dark universe will usher in a new era of Marathi digital entertainment, according to National Award winner Akshay Bardapurkar, Producer and Founder of Planet Marathi OTT. “It is a novel framework for the thriller and mystery genres, which are underrepresented in our business, particularly online. These kinds of television shows are intended to break through to wider viewers” said Akshay.

The compelling tale of a man who endures the debilitating shadow of a soul trapped serves as the central focus of the profoundly cryptic plot. The series bravely enters the thriller genre of Marathi web entertainment, which is less explored. Dhairya Gholap, Bhagyashree Milind, Sandeep Khare, Nivedita Ashok Saraf, and Urmila Kanetkar Kothare are among the outstanding actors in the series.

Viewers will get a taste of the mysterious realm of Athang through its teaser, according to well-known actress Bhagyashree Milind, who plays a significant role in the series. “It was a fresh experience for me as an actor because web content is shot differently. Even though it was extremely taxing, I loved every scene. Everything has come together beautifully” said the actress.

The web series has been directed by Jayant Pawar and produced by Tejaswini Pandit and Santosh Kher.

The series was launched on 25th November exclusively on the platform.
