Ritu Varma Reveals Difficult Times While Preparing For Devika Danny Series

Ritu Varma, who made her mark with films like Pellichupulu and was last seen in Swag, is stepping into a different zone with her new web series Devika and Danny. But her journey into this role wasn’t smooth. Behind the calm face on screen, Ritu faced an emotional and creative test while shaping the character of Devika.

Talking about the series, she said she was actively looking for something “out-of-the-box” for her OTT debut. When Devika and Danny came her way, she felt it was more than just another script—it was personal. The layered emotions and space to perform made her call the role a “blessing in disguise.” It wasn’t just about acting; it was about relating to a woman breaking barriers and finding her voice.

The show dives into Devika’s growth and how characters like Danny and Subbu bring key turns in her story. It’s not about grand drama but the quiet shift that happens when someone starts questioning their limits. Ritu believes the series will connect strongly, especially with young women who often second-guess themselves.

Backed by producer Sudhakar, whom Ritu describes as rare in his support and trust, Devika and Danny is set to stream on Jio Hotstar from June 6, 2025. Instead of a big-banner gloss, what this series promises is soul. And Ritu Varma seems ready to stand by it, rain or shine.
