Team aha had big plans to ring in the new year on the auspicious occasion of Ugadi. However, in view of the ongoing global crisis of the COVID-19 outbreak, the event has been postponed keeping in mind the safety of the cast, crew and fans who would be gathering at the event.

All these alongside the 2 new shows Locked and Sin being added to originals like Masti’s, Kotha Poradu, Shit Happens and Geetha Subramanyam which are already streaming on aha.
Locked stars popular actor Satyadev Kancharana in the role of a doctor and is produced by Krishna Kulasekaran. The invasion thriller, directed by Pradeep Devakumar, is dark and intriguing and will surely have you spooked! At the aha Web Media Preview last week, the cast and crew of the show joined in support of WHO’s #SafeHandsChallenge and promised to take it forward in view of propagating it to the public.
The second show also launched on this occasion is Sin produced by popular Producer- SharrathMarar and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Naveen Medaram. With a very bold and edgy topic like domestic violence and marital rape being dealt with in a never-seen-before treatment, this is a social drama that is new to the Telugu milieu and will surely engage the audience. The cast and crew of the series joined yesterday to launch #MarriageIsNoExcuse as a campaign to spread awareness on marital abuse.
