Bengaluru: Zee Kannada, known for delivering a compelling mix of fiction shows, engaging reality programs, and blockbuster movie premieres, is set to captivate audiences once again with the World Television Premiere of the gripping mystery drama Agnyathavasi on 10th August at 3:30 PM.
Set against the serene backdrop of Nalkeri village in Malenadu during the late 1990s, Agnyathavasi follows Inspector Govindu (Rangayana Raghu) — a dedicated police officer and part-time farmer — whose quiet village life is disrupted by the mysterious death of landlord Srinivasaiah (Sharath Lohitashwa). Declaring it a murder, Govindu’s investigation reveals chilling connections to a decades-old crime from the 1970s and exposes deeply buried village secrets.
The plot thickens with the arrival of Rohit (Siddu Moolimani), who introduces the village’s first computer, and Pankaja (Paavana Gowda), whose ties to Srinivasaiah’s son Arun add further intrigue. Another sudden death intensifies the mystery, weaving a narrative rich in suspense, silence, and hidden guilt.
With intense direction, a haunting rural setting, and stellar performances by Rangayana Raghu, Siddu Moolimani, Paavana Gowda, and Sharath Lohitashwa, Agnyathavasi promises a perfect blend of emotional depth and edge-of-the-seat thrills.
