The much-anticipated Telugu horror-thriller Kishkindhapuri, starring emerging hero Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas and the acclaimed Anupama Parameswaran, is set for a major digital and television debut this October. Following a successful theatrical run which saw the film collect over Rs 21.35 crore, the movie is all set for its highly awaited World Television Premiere on Zee Telugu and its simultaneous digital premiere on ZEE5.
Directed by Koushik Pegallapati and produced by Sahu Garapati under the Shine Screens banner, Kishkindhapuri will be available for streaming exclusively on the leading OTT platform ZEE5 from October 17, 2025, at 6 PM IST. Horror enthusiasts worldwide can mark their calendars to experience the chilling narrative which has been praised for its dramatic elevation in the second half.

The story centers on Raghava (Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas) and his girlfriend Mythili (Anupama Parameswaran), who operate a ghost walking tour company. Their latest adventure takes a terrifying turn at the abandoned Suvarna Maya radio station in the town of Kishkindhapuri, a place rumored to be haunted after a tragic incident. What begins as a scripted tour quickly spirals into a fight for survival as they unwittingly awaken a long-dormant and angry spirit.
The ensemble cast also features seasoned actors like Makarand Deshpande and Tanikella Bharani in pivotal roles, alongside Sandy Master and Hyper Aadi.
