In her own words, Prachi describes her journey on Dhootha as a truly unique experience. The extended storytelling format of the series allows for a more profound exploration of characters and plotlines. She said, “Working on Dhootha was indeed a unique experience. The primary difference was the extended storytelling format, which allowed for more in-depth character development and plot exploration. The episodic nature of a series provides a different rhythm of performance and character arc development. Couldn’t have asked for a better series for my Telugu debut. Heartening to know that my work will reach audiences in 240 countries and territories. Stories from all over the country and different regions and languages are reaching a global audience, which is an excellent opportunity for any artist.”

She added that the lure was the genre, which she found enticing. Prachi said, “The supernatural genre has always intrigued me, and I was eager to experiment with it. When I was approached for Dhootha, I realized that it was an actual ‘stepping out of the comfort zone’ experience for me and venturing into a genre that I've always been curious to explore as an actor. While I can't reveal too much, I can say that my character experiences a fascinating arc throughout the series, and it was a challenging yet rewarding role to take on.”

Dhootha is all set to premiere on Prime Video in India and other countries and territories worldwide on December 1 in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
