Mumbai, September 12

Prabhudeva will be seen headlining a political crime thriller, Sethurajan IPS.

Set against the charged backdrop of rural Tamil Nadu, the show follows Sethurajan IPS, a cop entangled in a politically sensitive murder case that spirals into a battle of power, identity, and justice, as per a press note.

Excited about the show, Prabhudeva said, "Sethurajan IPS isn't just a cop; he's a man caught in a storm of duty, identity, and politics. This role challenged me like never before. I believe this story is not just timely, but necessary. Sony LIV has always pushed the envelope with bold, rooted storytelling, and this series is no exception."

Meanwhile, Sony LIV recently released its 2025 slate, announcing upcoming projects including 'Dynasty', 'Scam 2010: The Subrata Roy Saga', and 'Real Kashmir Football Club', among many others.

Dynasty, which is touted as a political drama, stars Raveena Tandon in the lead role. It follows Tandon as the daughter of India's Prime Minister, who is thrust into power after his sudden death. Though chosen as a puppet by her party's old guard, she gradually asserts herself, challenging the system, defying expectations, and rising to become the most powerful and controversial PM in the country's history, as per Deadline.

Ronit Roy, Prakash Belawadi, Talat Aziz, Zeyn Shaw and Gurfateh Pirzada will also be seen in the show.

'Real Kashmir Football Club' is a drama inspired by the formation of Kashmir's first professional soccer team.

Speaking to Variety, Danish Khan, business head of SonyLIV and Studio Next, described the series, which has Mahesh Mathai as showrunner, as "one show we are extremely excited about" and "one of those shows that defines us, like 'Scam' or 'Rocket Boys.'

The series, produced by Jaya Entertainment alongside Oshun Entertainment, stars Manav Kaul and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in the story of two men who built the region's first professional soccer club.

Finally some good content coming from Tamil Nadu's rural backdrop. Political thrillers with local flavor always hit different. Hope they get the dialect and cultural nuances right.

Sony LIV is really stepping up their game! Scam series was brilliant, Rocket Boys was inspiring. Now Prabhudeva's political thriller and Raveena's Dynasty? My subscription is totally justified.

The Real Kashmir Football Club sounds fascinating! Stories about sports bringing communities together are so needed right now. Hope they handle the Kashmir context sensitively.

While I'm excited about Prabhudeva, I hope they don't glamorize the police system too much. Rural Tamil Nadu politics is complex and needs nuanced portrayal, not just hero worship.

Raveena Tandon as PM? Now that's casting I didn't know I needed! She has that powerful screen presence that could totally pull off a political leader role. Dynasty sounds intriguing!
