Agni Natchathiram is a 2019- 2021 Indian Tamil-language television series starring Varshini Arza, Mersheena Neenu, Gayathri Raj and Vasanth Vasi.[1] It premiered on Sun TV from 27 May 2019[2] on Monday to Saturday at 11:30 AM and ended on 3 April 2021 with 414 episodes.[3]
Plot
[edit]Two girls, Akila and Meera, are polar opposites. Their fathers are friends and also master and driver to one another. Akila is the master's daughter and Meer, the driver's. Unknown to them, they are actually twins of the latter. They are caught in a love triangle with Shridhar. The plot is slightly inspired from the 1988 film of the same name. In that film, two men (who are polar opposites) were unknown that they are half-brothers. In this TV series, the gender was reversed.
