Mumbai, June 9: The trailer for the highly anticipated streaming series ‘Gamerlog’ was released on Monday, showcasing the vibrant landscape of India's burgeoning E-sports gaming culture.
The narrative centers around Raghu, who goes by the gamer alias Maverick. He is a talented yet introverted gamer who leaves his small-town life behind, defying his parents' wishes, to pursue his aspirations in Mumbai's dynamic gaming scene.
While exploring this new environment, he encounters a diverse group known as ‘Team Gamerlog’. This team, led by Joanna, includes members Lalit, Jaggi, Saurabh, and Mahesh. The series delves into intense E-sports competitions, personal conflicts, emotional struggles, and surprising friendships. Themes of camaraderie, love, betrayal, and drama unfold as the story builds towards the climactic ‘Tournament of Champions’, the largest E-sports event in India.
The series features a talented cast including Darsheel Safary, Anjali Sivaraman, Chinmay Chandraunshuh, Kunal Bhan, Chetan Dhawan, Shubroy Chowdhury, and Akash Menon in key roles.
Darsheel Safary, who portrays Raghu, expressed his connection to the character, stating, “‘Gamerlog’ is a universe I could easily relate to. Although it revolves around gaming, the narrative dives deeper, reflecting the emotional rollercoaster that young individuals often face. It’s a show that’s enjoyable and relatable, appealing not only to gamers but also to families. Collaborating with Abhinay, Neeta, and the talented debut director Arya was a fantastic experience.”
Produced by Abhinay Deo and Neeta Shah under RDP Pulp Fiction Entertainment, the series is directed by Arya Deo.
Abhinay Deo shared his thoughts on the project, saying, "When Neeta and I first encountered this story, we were captivated by the intricate and compelling nature of the gaming world. With ‘Gamerlog’, we aimed to narrate a tale that mirrors the high-stakes environment of E-sports while also addressing the emotional challenges faced by today’s youth. The show is fast-paced, lively, and entertaining, yet fundamentally about vulnerability, loyalty, and resilience.”
He further praised Arya, who has been his assistant for a long time and possesses a deep understanding of this realm, as the ideal choice to realize their vision. They are excited to partner with Amazon MX Player to bring ‘Gamerlog’ to audiences, eager for viewers to meet the characters and immerse themselves in their unpredictable journey.
‘Gamerlog’ is scheduled to premiere on Amazon MX Player on June 12.
