ZEE5's new Telugu Original 'Maya Bazaar for Sale' to debut in July

Streamer ZEE5 on Wednesday announced a new Telugu show Maya Bazaar for Sale, a satirical drama revolving around families in a premium gated community.

The seven-episode show, which will debut on ZEE5 on July 14, is developed in association with actor Rana Daggubati’s production banner Spirit Media. It hails from writer and director Gautami Challagulla and is produced by Rajeev Ranjan.


The series features an ensemble cast of Navdeep Pallapolu, Eesha Rebba, Naresh Vijaya Krishna, Hari Teja, Jhansi Laxmi, Meiyang Chang, Sunaina, and Kota Srinivas Rao among others.

Maya Bazaar for Sale chronicles the story of families, namely, the Pastry’s, Gandhi’s, the Hippies, the Bachelors, and the Lovey-Dovey couple who move into premium villas in a gated community called ‘Maya Bazaar’, a press release stated.

"Their expectations of a prime and peaceful lifestyle are bulldozed by the government’s declaration of the construction as illegal. Maya Bazaar for Sale envelopes the events that follow in the personal lives and the community living of the characters post this tragedy," the official plotline read.

Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer at ZEE5, said the show presents yet another interesting narrative to the audience.

"The show aims at normalising unconventional ideas with light-hearted comedy. At ZEE5, we take pride in collaborating with storytellers to acquire diverse and socially relevant content that is sure to entertain the audience," Kalra said in a statement.
