Veduvan is not your usual thriller. This upcoming Tamil original delves into the fragile space between reel and reality, exploring what happens when an actor becomes so immersed in their role that it begins to consume their actual life. Premiering on 10 October 2025, the show will stream exclusively on ZEE5 Global, the world’s largest platform for South Asian content, available in over 190 countries.
At the heart of Veduvan is the story of Sooraj (played by Kanna Ravi), a struggling actor who is cast to portray a real-life encounter specialist, Arun, in a biopic. What begins as an opportunity soon spirals into a dark and dangerous journey, as Sooraj’s immersion into the character starts to blur the lines between fiction and reality. The result is a gripping thriller where identity, morality and survival collide.
The series features a stellar ensemble cast including Sanjeev Venkat, Sravnitha Srikanth, Ramya Ramakrishna and Rekha Nair, with direction by Pavan Kumar and production by RiseEast’s Sreenidhi Sagar. Known for his ability to balance taut storytelling with psychological depth, Pavan crafts a narrative that is as intimate as it is suspenseful, keeping viewers hooked until the very end.
What makes Veduvan unique is its psychological core: it doesn’t just deliver thrills but forces viewers to question the cost of living behind a mask, and how performance can consume reality. With Kanna Ravi in a career-defining role and a story that dares to explore the fragile boundaries of self, Veduvan promises to be an unforgettable watch for audiences across the globe.
Catch Veduvan, streaming from 10 October 2025, only on ZEE5 Global.
