What attracted Divya Dutta to Mayasabha and her Telugu debut?

Time and again, Dutta has been part of interesting projects and no matter the role or the screen-time won the hearts of the people through sheer talent. With a global focus on South film industry now, more so after the famous Oscar win, Dutta is also looking to make a mark in the Telugu industry with her debut series.

Mayasabha is a political drama directed by Kiran J Kumar and Deva Katta. It will start streaming on SonyLiv from August 7. As per the official trailer announcement post on Instagram the series is described as “A friendship tested by ambition…A rivalry that redefined leadership…A story that changed the fate of a state.” Mayasabha also has Sai Kumar, Shatru, Srikanth Iyengar, Ravindra Vijay, Nassar and Ravichandran in pivotal roles. It is set up against the backdrop of regional politics which at times turn violent.

It is a test of the individuals involved, whether their thirst for power wins over humanity.

Dutta reiterates her desire to be in Telugu cinema for quite some time. According to her, "Firsts are always special, and I've long wanted to be part of Telugu cinema. With the growing synergy between Bollywood and South Indian films, I'm proud to debut with this powerful show. It's grand, gripping, and my role as a strong political figure is one I'll always cherish. Even in her silences, she exudes power. I'm grateful to my director for trusting me with this character.”

On the work front, Divya was last seen in Chhaava alongside Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna.
