JD Chakravarthy’s Dayaa is a hearing-impaired freezer van driver on the run with the body of a popular journalist in the official trailer of Disney+Hotstar’s upcoming crime thriller series Dayaa.

Unveiled by the streamer on Sunday, the two-minute-eight-second-long trailer immediately grips viewers with the missing case of popular journalist Kavita. In a twist of fate, Dayaa, a freezer van driver responsible for delivering fish to the market, discovers her lifeless body in his van. Filled with fear, Dayaa attempts to dispose of the deceased but finds himself pursued by the police, who believe he is the prime suspect.

Directed by Pavan Sadineni, Dayaa is the Telugu remake of the Bengali web series Taqdeer starring Chanchal Chowdhury, Sanjida Preeti and Rikita Nandini Simu. Apart from Chakravarthy, the protagonist of Ram Gopal Varma’s 1998 crime action classic Satya, the series also features Ramya Nambessan, Eesha Rebba, Kamal Kamajraju, Josh Ravi and Vishnu Priya.

Dayaa will start streaming on Disney+ Hotstar from August 4.
