Samuthirakani & Aishwarya Rajesh led 'Isakapatnam' shares a gripping tale of ambition & revenge
Mumbai, June 15
The makers of the upcoming Telugu series, "Isakapatnam," have unveiled the captivating trailer of the drama on Monday during an immersive event in Hyderabad.
Led by Samuthirakani and Aishwarya Rajesh, the seven-episode crime thriller is backed by Rahul Tamada and Saideep Reddy Borra under the banner of Tamada Media Productions. Sunil, Naresh Agastya, Merin Philip, Sudhakar Komakula, Rajeev Kanakala, Mime Gopi, Rohini, Banerjee, Jwala Koti, Ravi Varma, and Raja Chembolu are also a part of the ensemble cast.
The show talks about a fictional port town where crime, politics, and loyalties collide.
Talking about the project, the director of the drama, Garry BH, said, "Isakapatnam is a fictional series driven by deeply authentic characters and universal human emotions. While the story is rooted in a unique world, themes of greed, ambition, love, loss, and revenge make it extremely relatable. Promising to entertain and enthrall audiences, the story is filled with unexpected twists and turns as the characters cross paths in their pursuit of absolute power. Working alongside Tamada Media Productions, Prime Video, and our exceptional cast and crew has been a truly fulfilling experience, and I can't wait for audiences worldwide to immerse themselves in the world of Isakapatnam."
Samuthirakani stated, "What immediately drew me to the series was the strength of its storytelling and the complexity of my character, Naidu. Beyond the action and drama, the narrative delves into themes of greed, revenge, and ambition, and how they can drive people to make life-altering decisions. I'm grateful to have been part of this journey and look forward to audiences experiencing the series and seeing me in a role unlike any I've played before."
Aishwarya Rajesh went on to add, "Portraying Bharati was both challenging and deeply rewarding. What appealed to me was her resilience, complexity, and the strength with which she navigates a world shaped by power and conflict. She is a woman with immense agency and conviction, refusing to be defined by her circumstances while embracing both vulnerability and courage. That balance is what makes her feel so authentic, and I'm excited for audiences to experience her journey," said Aishwarya Rajesh
"Isakapatnam" is slated to premiere exclusively on Prime Video on July 2.

Aishwarya Rajesh is such an underrated actress! So happy to see her getting meaty roles. The concept of a female lead navigating through power and conflict sounds refreshing. Hope the series does justice to her character's arc 🙌
The premise sounds generic - crime, politics, revenge... yawn. But I'll give it a chance for the cast. Samuthirakani is always good. Let's see if it breaks the template or just rehashes the same old stuff.
As a Telugu cinema lover, this is exactly what we need! More regional content on OTT platforms. The cast lineup is solid with Sunil and Rajeev Kanakala. Hope the storytelling matches the hype 🤞
I'm intrigued by the "authentic characters" and "universal emotions" pitch. The best Indian shows on Prime (like Family Man) have that balance. Fingers crossed this delivers quality content from episode 1 to 7! 🤞
Only 7 episodes? That's perfect for binge-watching! No filler content hopefully. Samuthirakani saying his role is unlike anything he's played before sounds exciting. The man has range - remember him in Super Deluxe? 🎯
