Mar 18: Hungama OTT is set to bring an intense crime drama with its upcoming original series Zung, releasing on 18th March 2026. Featuring Pavitra Punia in a striking new avatar as Kaveri, and also starring Aabhas Mehta and Zohaiib Asshraf in pivotal roles, the story unfolds in the rugged ship-breaking yards of Alang, where emotions, secrets, and survival collide.
The series follows Kaveri, a lonely housewife stuck in a loveless marriage whose life takes an unexpected turn when she seeks an escape from her mundane reality. What begins as a moment of emotional vulnerability slowly pulls her into a dangerous world of manipulation, crime, and high-stakes choices. As situations spiral beyond her control, Kaveri is forced to confront difficult truths and find the courage to take charge of her own destiny.
Sharing her thoughts on the role, Pavitra said,
“Of all the roles I’ve played so far, I can say this one is the most different. It’s the story of a housewife who suddenly finds herself caught in a web of crime and suspense. When I first heard the script, I instantly loved the story. It’s packed with so many twists and turns that every episode keeps you guessing. To prepare for the role, I watched several thriller films to understand that intensity and tried to bring some of that tension and unpredictability into Kaveri’s character.”
