Talking about her decision to be a part of Dhootha, Parvathy Thiruvothu had said, "I am a fan of suspenseful thrillers, but the decision to be a part of Dhootha was more of the script choosing me than me choosing it. Dhootha is unlike anything I have done in the past and I was curious and excited to do something so unique. Vikram's approach to not just the story but every individual character makes it extremely enticing for any actor to be a part of the project. It's taken me 17 years to make my debut in Telugu entertainment, and I am glad that it happened with Dhootha."
The show is currently streaming on Prime Video.
