Hungama OTT is set to present a powerful and thought-provoking drama with its upcoming original series Mangal Mukhi, set to launch on 09 April 2026. Featuring Ella D’ Verma in a groundbreaking role, and also starring Namish Taneja and Rati Pandey in pivotal roles, the story follows a journey of identity, resilience, and justice set against the contrasting backdrops of Varanasi and Mumbai.
The series revolves around Mangal Mukhi, a transgender police officer from Uttar Pradesh who has long been ridiculed by her peers and sidelined by her superiors. When she is assigned her first high-profile case following the mysterious death of a television star during a shoot, she is drawn into a complex investigation that takes her deep into the dark underbelly of the entertainment industry. As she uncovers layers of secrets, deception, and hidden identities, Mangal Mukhi must not only fight for justice but also carve her own place in a system that has never fully accepted her.
Sharing her thoughts on the role, Ella said, “Mangal Mukhi is not just a story about a police officer, it’s a story about identity, strength, and self-belief. What I love most about my character is that her journey goes beyond gender, it’s about proving that your capabilities are not defined by how society sees you. She is resilient, fearless, and deeply human. Playing this character has been an emotional and empowering experience for me, and I hope audiences connect with her journey and strength.”
Mangal Mukhi promises a compelling narrative of courage, identity, and justice, where every challenge becomes a step towards self-acceptance and change.
