According to the official synopsis, the series is the story of David vs. Goliath where a downtrodden fights his mighty shrewd and cruel uncle for the honesty and honor of his father.
Veteran actors Jagapathi Babu and Sarath Kumar will be seen together in Disney+ Hotstar’s first Telugu series “Parampara”, announced on Wednesday.
The family drama series is backed by Shobu Yarlagadda, producer of “Baahubali” and Prasad Devineni of Arka Mediaworks Production.
Written by Hari Yeleti and directed by Krishna Vijay L and Vishwanath Arigela, Parampara is an epic tale of power, corruption and generational bad blood.
In “Parampara”, Kumar plays Nagendra Naidu, a dangerous businessman for whom morality is in the gray area, while Babu plays his subordinate right-hand man Mohan Rao.
Kumar, known for films like “Nattamai”, “Sooryavansham” and “Pazhassi Raja”, said he feels honored to be a part of a project that is setting an example for the Telugu industry.
“I am honored to make my digital web series debut with ‘Parampara’. Working on a web series for the first time as an actor, there are some changes that need to be done and this is my acting. The process was a journey full of excitement and exploration. I hope the tradition resonates with the audiences,” the 67-year-old actor said in a statement.
Speaking about his role, Kumar said, “My role as a powerful business tycoon has many layers which have been skillfully handled through Krishna Vijay L’s direction.” Babu, 59, said he had a lot of fun being a part of ‘Parampara’ and hopes the audience will enjoy watching it too.
“For my character Mohan Rao, there is a muted intensity to the way he walks, walks and talks that is very captivating. The entire character building has taught me many lessons, both as an actor and as a human being. I really enjoyed playing the role of Mohan Rao and I hope it comes in the series as well,” Babu, who is known for his villainous roles in “Legend” and “Pulimurugan”, said.
According to the official synopsis, “Tradition” is the story of David vs. Goliath, where a downtrodden fights his mighty shrewd and cruel uncle for the honesty and honor of his evil father.

This sets the stage with a conflict between the two resulting in a power struggle, it reads.
Vijay said that he is grateful and proud to be able to direct the series with such talented actors.
“Tradition is a drama based on the power ambitions of its characters. Viewers will be treated to a power drama that boasts of emotions, actions and a captivating storyline that will keep them hooked to the series. I feel extremely proud to be able to direct my first web series featuring the talented dream cast for the show,” said the co-director.
