A gifted dog, a child longing for love and a political leader who wants the pet for himself: This sets the premise for GV Prakash's maiden web series Lucky The Superstar, which is all set to premiere on JioHotstar.
The over 30-second-long glimpse establishes that GV Prakash's character presents a puppy to a young girl who's longing for a companion, unaware that the dog has a secret superpower of giving immense luck to whoever owns him. Soon, a political leader steals the dog for himself, leaving the girl devastated. GV Prakash realises that the only way to bring the girl back to normalcy is to bring the dog back to her.
