Entertainment Nov 25, 2025

Legendary Tamil crime writer Rajesh Kumar is stepping into the streaming world with Regai, dropping on Zee5 this November 28.
The series adapts his 1990s novel Ulagai Vilaikael and promises a medical thriller twist—think invisible crimes and plenty of suspense.
Directed by M Dhinakaran, it's a fresh chance for new viewers to dive into Kumar's world (he's written over 1,500 novels!).

What's next for Kumar?

Kumar isn't stopping here—he's teaming up with Zee5 again to adapt more fan-favorite characters like Vivek, Rupella, and Vishnu.
Plus, he's working on a brand-new novel about Artificial Intelligence that digs into how AI could change society, all while keeping his signature storytelling style.
