Actors Kay Kay Menon and Archana Puran Singh are set to headline Prime Video's upcoming comedy-drama series 'Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya,' which will premiere on July 24.
On Sunday, the streaming platform unveiled the trailer of the seven-episode series, giving a glimpse into the story of a struggling school and its unusual headmaster.
Directed by Himank Gaur, the series has been created and executive produced by Biswapati Sarkar and Sameer Saxena under the banner of Posham Pa Pictures. It is written by Biswapati Sarkar, Akshay Asthana, Nupur Pai, Tatsat Pandey, and Meghna Srivastava.
The story follows Gyaneshwar Tripathi, played by Kay Kay Menon, a laid-back headmaster who tries to improve one of Tinki Toli's most troubled schools.
Things take a new turn when he learns that the principals of Delhi's top 10 schools, based on board exam results, will get the chance to attend a government-sponsored training programme in Cambridge.
As he deals with teachers, students, parents and everyday challenges, he sets out to change the future of the school.
Apart from Kay Kay Menon and Archana Puran Singh, the series also stars Abhimanyu Singh, Naveen Kasturia, Prasanna Bisht, Deven Bhojani, Ajitesh Gupta, Annapurna Soni and Prachee Shah.

Being classical has become cool
Kay Kay Menon, who plays Gyaneshwar Tripathi, said playing a headmaster was a new experience for him. He also spoke about what attracted him to the role and working on the series.
Archana Puran Singh, who essays the role of Urmila Devi, said the writing and her character made the project special for her.
"What drew me to Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya was its beautifully observed writing. It is a story filled with humour, heart, and characters that feel incredibly authentic. My character, Urmila Devi, is bold, outspoken, fiercely ambitious, and completely unapologetic about who she is, which made her an absolute joy to portray,” she said.
Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya will stream on Prime Video in Hindi with English subtitles from July 24 in India and over 240 countries and territories worldwide.
