First Look of ‘Anarth’ Starring Preeti Panigrahi Reveals a Supernatural Series About a Child Haunted by ‘Boba’

The first look of the upcoming supernatural series Anarth has been released, introducing a story built around grief, childhood fear and a mysterious entity known as Boba.

Produced by Emmay Entertainment, the series is backed by producers Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani and Nikkhil Advani. The project is created by Ananya Banerjee, who also directs the show alongside Gaurav Chawala.

The first images from the series focus on a young girl played by Preeti Panigrahi, who appears to be experiencing disturbing visions of a shadowy male figure. In the teaser material, the child describes a sensation of pressure on her chest, as if an unseen weight is bearing down on her.

According to the premise outlined in the first look, the entity known as Boba appears to prey on children who feel isolated or frightened. The promotional text suggests that the figure follows vulnerable children, manifesting as a haunting presence that grows stronger when fear and loneliness take hold.

The story unfolds around a motherless child and a childless woman whose lives intersect as they confront their personal grief. Their emotional vulnerability places them at the centre of the unfolding events as the sinister force begins to close in.

The teaser also introduces a time-bound threat. The words “All You Have is 6 Nights” appear across the footage, indicating that the characters must confront the supernatural presence within a limited window of time.

Alongside Panigrahi, the series features an ensemble cast that includes Gulshan Devaiah, Kalki Koechlin, Parambrata Chattopadhyay, Sumedh Mudgalkar, Harshita Gaur and Barkha Bist.

While further details about the storyline remain under wraps, the early footage positions Anarth as a psychological horror drama that blends supernatural elements with an exploration of loss, fear and childhood vulnerability.
