The trailer of GV Prakash Kumar’s upcoming JioHotstar series Lucky The Superstar is out, and it sets the tone for a quirky, socially aware fantasy that leans heavily on emotion and humour. Unveiled by the streaming platform on Friday, the nearly two-minute preview introduces a world where luck is not just a concept but a living, breathing dog that everyone wants to control.
Directed by Uday Mahesh, Lucky The Superstar is scheduled to premiere on JioHotstar on February 20.The series marks yet another attempt by Tamil streaming content to fuse fantasy elements with political commentary, while keeping its narrative accessible and family-friendly.
A Dog With Destiny Written All Over It
The trailer opens on a playful yet poignant note, with voiceovers by Kovai Sarala, Rajendran and Thambi Ramaiah, who lend distinct personalities to three street dogs. One of them mourns the loss of her puppy, a moment that quietly sets the emotional spine of the story. The lost pup soon finds a home when a family adopts him and names him Lucky, blissfully unaware that the dog possesses an extraordinary ability to bring immense fortune to whoever owns him.
What begins as a warm, slice-of-life setup quickly spirals into chaos when Lucky goes missing. His disappearance leads him straight into the hands of a group of corrupt politicians who uncover his secret and see him as the ultimate shortcut to power and popularity. The trailer hints at satirical jabs at political opportunism, showing how even fate and fortune can be commodified.

GV Prakash Steps Into a Hero’s Chase
At the heart of the madness is GV Prakash, paired with Anaswara Rajan, both of whom are seen embarking on a frantic mission to rescue Lucky before his powers are fully exploited. GV Prakash appears to be playing an everyman hero, driven more by conscience than ambition, while Anaswara brings warmth and urgency to the quest.The series also boasts a strong supporting cast including Meghna Sumesh, Elango Kumaravel, Devadarshini and Uday Mahesh himself in key roles. Produced by Kandasamy and Pushpa Kandasamy, Lucky The Superstar seems designed as a breezy yet pointed entertainer, using fantasy as a lens to comment on greed, morality and the lengths people go to for power.
Visually, the trailer balances whimsy with tension, while the background score underscores the stakes without overpowering the narrative. If the series delivers on the promise of its trailer, Lucky The Superstar could emerge as a crowd-pleasing blend of heart, humour and social satire when it arrives on JioHotstar later this month.
