ZEE5 Global, the world’s leading streaming platform for South Asian content, available in 190+ countries is set to premiere the much-anticipated Kannada romantic thriller ‘Elumale’ on 17th October. Directed by Punit Rangaswamy and produced by Tharun Sudhir & Atlanta Nagendra, the film features a talented ensemble cast including Raanna, Priyanka Achar, Jagapati Babu, Kishore and TS Nagabharana among others. 

Set in the borderlands between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, the film follows Harish (Raanaa), a cab driver from Chamarajanagar, and Revathi, a wealthy young woman (Priyanka Achar) from Salem. What begins as a cross-border romance soon becomes entangled with law enforcement, smugglers, and larger political undercurrents. As the lovers fight to hold on to their relationship, unexpected twists and high-stakes conflicts push the narrative towards a gripping, edge-of-the-seat climax.

Talking about the film and its World Digital Premiere, Actor Raanna said, “Harish is a simple, boy-next-door character, and playing him was a journey that felt very personal to me. From working on the local slang to understanding his backstory, the process was challenging and rewarding. What makes Elumale special is that it has been made with a lot of heart, and now, with its digital premiere, I hope even more audiences connect with Harish’s story. If the character stays with viewers of Zee5 Global after watching it, I’ll feel I’ve done justice to the role.”
