Co-directed by Kiran Jaya Kumar, the series is about Nara Chandra Babu Naidu and late Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, the kingpins of Andhra politics. Aadhi Pinisetty plays Chandrababu Naidu whereas talented actor Chaitanya Rao plays Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy.
Deva Katta’s series goes back to the 90s when these two political parties, TDP and Congress, were on the rise in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The trailer starts with the famous Viceroy Hotel incident, where N.T. Rama Rao is all set to suspend his MLAs, and his son-in-law Chandrababu Naidu is ready to lead a revolution against him, removing him from the Chief Minister’s seat.
This is when the drama unfolds and Deva Katta showcases candid conversations between the characters of Chandra Babu and Rajasekhar Reddy.

All this has been showcased in a very compelling manner in the trailer. Aadhi Pinisetty plays Chandrababu Naidu, and for legal reasons, the names, characters, locations, and properties have been renamed. Telugu Desam’s political war with the Congress party during the 90s was one of the most discussed topics and has historical importance. Making a series on this background, especially by Deva Katta, gives a new high to the OTT space.
The production values of the series look impressive, and the way the drama is elevated is showcased superbly. Mayasbha also stars Srikanth Iyengar, Hindi actress Divya Dutta, Ravindra Vijay, Nassar, and a few others in crucial roles. Along with the trailer, the makers have announced that the series will be available from August 7, 2025, and will be available for streaming on Sony Liv.
