As far as I know, the hint that I have gotten is that Sudip (Sharma, show creator) sir is already working on it [scripting season 2]. I hope it happens and I would love to take the story forward.”

“It might be a different case or the continuation of the same case as season 1, I don’t know. But, I would love to play Hathiram again. His involvement has just started. Hathiram has just entered the game. We feel that he will finally start now. Now, things are in his favour,” he mentioned. Jaydeep performs police inspector Hathiram Chaudhary of Delhi who’s tasked with delivering 4 tried murderers to justice.

The neo-noir sequence additionally options actors Neeraj Kabi, Gul Panag, Swastika Mukherjee, and Abhishek Bannerjee Sharma. Sudip had earlier mentioned it was his endeavor to discover the number of faultlines that run throughout the Indian society.

“It’s always been on my agenda to try and understand this country better; and even in my forties, it continues to fascinate and yet disturb me. When you think about it, you realize there are multiple fault lines that run across the country; be it because of economy, class, rural and urban divide, etc. – we can deny it, but they do exist,” the creator mentioned in an announcement.

The sequence has been impressed by the traditional realms of Swargalok (heaven), Dharti Lok (earth), and Paatal Lok (netherworld). “There are primarily three classes, the upper, middle and lower which I personally associated with Swarg Lok, Dharti Lok, and Paatal Lok, essentially derived from heaven, earth, and the netherworld. The thought behind the concept of the show was to explore these three classes that exist in our society in the form of an investigative thriller. We wanted to explore the three layers from the eyes of the investigator; i.e. the protagonist of the show, who represents the earth, the victim represents the heaven, and the suspects come from Paatal Lok,” Sharma mentioned.

The present debuted on Amazon Prime Video on May 15, has been shot in 110 cities throughout the nation, together with Chitrakoot in Uttar Pradesh.
