Music, Money and Mayhem! A deadly combination that drives Nimma into the world of crime. JioHotstar announces the much awaited trailer of their upcoming series ‘Kanneda’ releasing on March 21, 2025, produced by Jar Pictures and directed by Chandan Arora. Kanneda is a world where nobody is welcomed with open arms, everyone has to fight through to survive and the ruthless streets don’t let you survive.
Starring Parmish Verma as Nimma, Kanneda is packed with intense action, drama, and unexpected twists. The show also features a stellar cast including Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Ranvir Shorey, Arunoday Singh, Aadar Malik, and Jasmin Bajwa.
Parmish Verma says, “Kanneda is more than just a story—it’s a reflection of the struggles, ambitions, and dreams of countless Indians living abroad. Nimma’s journey is deeply personal to me because, in many ways, I’ve felt like an outsider myself in life. But Nimma’s world is far more intense, where survival & power comes at an unforgiving price. Playing him wasn’t just a role—it was an opportunity to fully immerse myself in a character I truly loved bringing to life. I give my all to the characters I play and I lived and breathed Nimma, so much so that I haven’t picked up another acting project since Kanneda. I’m incredibly proud of this show and can’t wait for audiences to witness the raw emotions, high stakes, and relentless intensity of Kanneda on JioHotstar.”
Jasmine Bajwa shares, “Kanneda is an intense, thought-provoking story that explores ambition and its consequences. Harleen as a character is the girl next door who is in love with Nimma and supports him through his journey until things take a wrong turn. Harleen’s character sounds simple but she has her own complexities and struggles that she fights. Working alongside such a talented cast was an amazing experience. It’s a thrilling ride that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. I’m thrilled for everyone to see it on JioHotstar!”
Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub comments, “The world of Kanneda is ruthless, and my character plays a crucial part in Nimma’s journey. The story is filled with so much intensity and emotion. Working with Parmish and the rest of the team was an enriching experience, and I’m sure the audience will appreciate the layers of drama and suspense we’ve woven into this narrative. I am grateful to partner with all the talented artists and JioHotstar for bringing this story to life.”
Ranvir Shorey adds, “Kanneda is a story set at the confluence of immigration, politics, crime and music. The script explores themes that are in the news today, and my character plays a pivotal part in the storyline. The trailer captures only a glimpse of the raw emotion and suspense that this show has to offer. I’m excited for the audience to experience it on JioHotstar.”
