Chennai, 12 Sept

Actor-choreographer-director Prabhudeva is set to make his debut in the streaming space with Sony LIV’s Tamil original series ‘Sethurajan IPS’.

The show is a political crime thriller from Rafiq Ismail, the director of films such as ‘Rathasaatchi’ and ‘Westminster Abbey of the East’.

Prabhudeva, best known for his dance prowess and light-hearted roles in movies ‘Kaadhalan’, ‘Love Birds’, ‘Minsara Kanava and ‘Kaathala Kaathala’, will be seen in a gritty new avatar as a police officer investigating a politically sensitive murder case in rural Tamil Nadu.

The story spirals into a complex battle of power, identity and justice.

"'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," the 52-year-old actor said in a statement.

The series, which marks a sharp departure from the conventions of a cop drama, promises to blend suspense with a social commentary on power and politics.

‘Sethurajan IPS’ will be available soon on Sony LIV.
