Talking about the much-anticipated show, producer Ramgopal Varma said, “I’m pleased to announce my first OT T series with MX Player, Dhahanam. The story runs in a grey area between two contradictory quotes, ‘An eye for an eye will only succeed in making the whole world blind’ said by Mahatma Gandhi, and ‘Revenge is the pure st emotion,’ as quoted in Mahabharata. Dhahanam tells not a story of just revenge, but the story of a circle of reve nge. It’s not a crime thriller but it’s about thrilling crimes which are designed to create an adrenaline pum pi ng exhilaration. With this show, we have not gone one extra mile, but went many miles ahead with intense meth od actors living in their roles to do justice to the story’s violent demands. Our entire team is eagerly waiting to see the audience’s reaction.”
Commenting on her daring and dynamic avatar, Isha Koppikar said, “It’s a proud feeling to be able to don the unif orm on screen. It comes with a great sense of responsibility and belief. The officers in uniform work tirelessly eve ry day and face a great number of challenges so we all can be safe and at ease. I appreciate all the hard work they put in, and for that I am grateful for them and to be able to portray them on screen. Having said that, I am excited to play Anjana Sinha in Dhahanam who works hard to find culprits and brings peace to the chaotic hinterland village. This role really brought out the best in me as an actor and a woman and am thrilled to be associated with Ramgopal Varma’s project.”
Actress Naina Ganguly said, “It has always been a pleasure to work with Ramgopal Varma Sir. His teachings on the set have been an enriching experience. Dhahanam is yet another opportunity for me to work closely with my mentor. The character I have played in Dhahanam has been my most challenging work so far. I do look forward to the audience’s reaction to it.”
Actor Abhishek Duhan commented, “My character ‘Hari’ is a rebel (Naxalite) who is on the lookout for his father’s murderer. In this series, my character not only takes revenge for the father but also aims to support oppressed people who have no one to stand for them. This whole journey has been a beautiful experience and I can’t wait to see what the audience has to say on it. I really want to thank the entire team that made this possible.”

It’s always an enriching experience working and learning from him. In Dhahanam, I am playing the role of Chenna Reddy. Dhahanam being a raw story, my character is too real. I hope that the audience appreciates my work and enjoys watching the series.”
