The trailer of the upcoming Netflix anthology, Navarasa, is out. It is a refreshing change from the usual OTT trailers where the storyline and most of the plot points are revealed.
The neatly cut under-2 minute trailer gives us enough information about the nine shorts in the anthology to pull us into the world created by some of the finest Indian filmmakers. Starring names like Suriya, Vijay Sethupathi, Revathy, Parvathy, Prakash Raj, Aditi Balan, Anjali, Siddharth, and Yogi Babu, the anthology comprises nine segments highlighting one rasa each. Nine filmmakers — Priyadarshan, Vasanth S Sai, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Sarjun KM, Rathindran R Prasad, Karthick Naren, Karthik Subbaraj, Bejoy Nambiar, and Arvind Swami — have worked in the project.
Here's the trailer
Filmmakers Mani Ratham and Jayendra Panchapakesan will be producing and presenting the anthology. This project was created to provide relief to members of the film industry who were affected by the pandemic and its subsequent lockdown that put their livelihoods on hold.
Navarasa is set to begin streaming from August 6 on Netflix. This will be Netflix's second Tamil anthology after Paava Kadhaigal, which was released in December 2020.
