Acclaimed filmmaker Deva Katta, known for hard-hitting films like Prasthanam and Republic, has made a smashing OTT debut with Mayasabha, now streaming on Sony LIV.
Released on August 7, the Telugu original has struck a strong chord with audiences and critics alike.
Within its first week, Mayasabha logged 2.8 million views and clinched the No. 3 spot on Ormax Media’s most-watched streaming list for August 11–17, 2025.
For Sony LIV - already home to acclaimed originals like Scam 1992, Rocket Boys, Freedom at Midnight, and The Hunt: The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case - this is another feather in the cap.
Jointly directed by Deva Katta and Kiran Jay Kumar, the series fictionalises crucial political events in united Andhra Pradesh between 1974 and 2009.
The first season, spread across nine gripping episodes, takes viewers up to 1983, blending political intrigue with human drama.
At its core, Mayasabha tells the story of Kakarla Krishnama Naidu (Aadi Pinishetty) and MS Rami Reddy (Chaitanya Rao Madadi) - friends-turned-political rivals - against the backdrop of shifting power and betrayal.
The series also stars Divya Dutta, Sai Kumar, Srikanth Iyengar, Shatru, Ravindra Vijay, Tanya Ravichandra, Bhavna, and Charitha in key roles.
Packed with sharp dialogues, layered characters, and a climactic finale, the show has left audiences eagerly awaiting Season 2, where the clash between KKN and MSR will intensify.
With Mayasabha, Deva Katta cements his reputation as one of India’s finest voices in political storytelling.
