The six-episode-long series offers an immersive exploration into the life and escapades of the notorious forest bandit, Koose Munisamy Veerappan.

Following the success of “Koose Munusamy Veerappan,” a top-tier docu-series, Prabhavathi expressed confidence in witnessing a significant surge in the audience for the docu-series genre in India.
