New Delhi: Prime Video launched the rib-tickling trailer of the upcoming Telugu comedy-drama, ‘Kumari Srimathi’ today. Directed by Gomtesh Upadhye, the series stars Nithya Menen along with Nirupam, Gautami, Thiruveer, Talluri Rameshwari, Naresh, and Murali Mohan in pivotal roles. The trailer of 'Kumari Srimathi' takes the viewers into the life of a 30-year-old single woman, named Srimathi (Menen) and her dysfunctional family.
Set in a remote village in East Godavari, Srimathi, who is a strong-willed woman, decides to open a bar and a restaurant in her village to reclaim her ancestral home. A series of hilarity follows when Srimathi overcomes various social and moral barriers along the way.
“I’ve always liked playing characters that defy the societal constructs and stereotypes of an ideal woman. When I came across Srimathi's character, it felt like a breath of fresh air. The script is simple yet impactful approach to portraying a woman's journey in a male-dominated workspace offered me new and insightful perspectives as an actor. Prime Video as a streaming service has enabled local stories and artists to have global relevance. After associating with the brand for titles like Breathe: Into the Shadows and Modern Love Hyderabad, I am glad to return with yet another extraordinary story. I believe thousands of women will feel a connection with story, who are all living their individual stories battling patriarchy,” said lead actor Nithya Menen.
“Kumari Srimathi resonates with a lot of today’s women - breaking the stereotypical myths and going on to achieving their dreams. It has been a three-year journey with Srimathi and this is very close to my heart,” said the producer Swapna Dutt.
Produced by Early Monsoon Tales, the seven-episode Telugu series will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on September 28 with dubs in Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam.
