reasons. As the title suggested,
the biggest of them all is Amala Akkineni who makes her web
series debut with this show.
Directed by Pushpa Ignatius, High Priestess is a supernatural
thriller revolving around Swathi
Reddy, a tarot card reader and psychic and her strange
experiences with her clients. But
makes this Telugu web series stand out among others? Why
should people give it watch right
away? Having seen the series, that’s exactly what we’ll try to
address without giving any
spoilers.
Reason 1: Amala Akkineni
The web space has been catching a
lot of traction amongst the Tollywood people. In the month
of March this year, Lakshmi
Manchu and Srinivas Avasarala made their web series debut with
ZEE5’s web series Mrs.
Subbulakshmi. However, Amala Akkineni’s presence in the web series
takes the excitement to the next
level. That’s because it has been almost 7 years since she
graced the Telugu audience with
her spectacular performance. Also, the show sees her pick a
role, unlike anything she’s done
before.
Reason 2: Story and Series Format
When one thinks of spirits and
supernatural events, one thinks of jump scares and at times even
violence as we’ve seen in Anushka
Shetty’s Arundathi or Poorna’s Avunu. But this series has a
different take on supernatural
entities and rather comes across as a thriller with high emotional
appeal. This makes it a unique
series in the Telugu cine space. In an interview, Amala even
referred to High Priestess as afeel-good show with a slightly twisted approach to the
supernatural. Also, the series
revolves around different stories and characters who are all
connected via Amala’s character
Swathi. Using a hyperlink narrative further enriches the
narrative and makes High
Priestess a wholesome watch.
Reason 3: Other Prominent Cast
Names
Along with Amala Akkineni, High
Priestess features quite a stellar star cast who are a treat to
watch. There is Kishore, who is a
popular actor in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada industries. Then
there is Varalakshmi Sarathkumar
who makes her web series debut with this show. Brahmaji
too essays an important role in
the series. Last but not least, Tamil actor Krishna of Kazhugu
and Maari 2 fame plays an
interesting role and also happens to be the producer of this thrilling
Reason 4: No Language Barriers
As with most ZEE5 original
content, High Priestess too has a dubbed release. So while the
series was originally made in
Telugu, the dubbed versions help take this exciting supernatural
dubbed in seven languages. As of
now, the series is available to watch in Telugu and Hindi. So
if you are a fan of supernatural
thrillers, this show shall give you the thrills you are looking for.
So, those were some of the
biggest reasons why you should check out High Priestess on ZEE5.
This is one series that is sure to
impress horror and thriller genre fans.
