ZEE5 Latest Releases: Mrunal Thakur's 'Pooja Meri Jaan' and 'Agadha' Thrillers

New Thriller Additions to ZEE5 India

The streaming platform zee5 is expanding its thriller catalogue with two distinct acquisitions targeting the Hindi and Telugu markets. While one project marks the digital rescue of a long-delayed Bollywood film, the other brings regional supernatural mystery to the forefront of its Telugu library.

'Pooja Meri Jaan': A Digital Premiere After Four Years

One of the most anticipated additions is Pooja Meri Jaan, a suspense social thriller starring Mrunal Thakur and Huma Qureshi. The film is scheduled for a direct-to-digital premiere on October 2, 2026, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti. Although the movie was completed in 2022, it remained unavailable to audiences for nearly four years due to "లీగల్, పోస్ట్-ప్రొడక్షన్ కారణాల వల్ల ల్యాబ్‌కే పరిమితమైంది" (legal and post-production reasons) before being acquired by ZEE5.

The plot follows Pooja (Thakur), a young woman who becomes the target of an anonymous stalker. The narrative evolves into a court-room drama as Pooja, aided by her friend Sana (Qureshi), attempts to uncover the identity of her tormentor. Directed by Navjyot Gulati and produced under the Madock Films banner, the movie will launch primarily in Hindi, with plans to release dubbed versions in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.

'Agadha': Supernatural Mystery on ZEE5 Telugu

For viewers seeking the paranormal, the supernatural thriller Agadha premiered on ZEE5 Telugu on September 25, 2026. Directed by M.S. Raju, the film centers on Mahadevi (played by Kamakshi Bhaskarla), a spiritually gifted woman who investigates a series of unexplained deaths and a cousin's suicide.

The story leads Mahadevi into a forbidden forest cave where she encounters a supernatural entity known as Agadha. Unlike traditional horror, the film blends mythology-inspired elements with a mystery-driven plot, focusing on the intersection of faith and the sinister.
