Vishal Bhardwaj, director, and producer of Vishal Bhardwaj films earlier stated, “I grew up devouring Agatha Christie's mysterious tales. Her plots, characters, and setting remain unparalleled in the genre and continued to excite storytellers even today. It has been an incredible journey collaborating with James Prichard, great-grandson of Agatha Christies, who always brought unique perspectives to our team. Sony LIV and Priti Shahani have been the perfect partners for me to adapt to his thrilling and mysterious world.
Gulshan Grover also talked about his long-cherished dream of working with the director finally coming true. Calling Bhardwaj his favorite director, Grover says, “I must have rejected more than 60-70 web series in the past year and when this opportunity to work with Vishal Bhardwaj, for a story like this with a cast this good and role this interesting, came to me, I immediately said yes. There were no second thoughts.”
For the unversed, Vishal Bhardwaj is known for his films like Makdee, Omkara, Haider, Kaminey, and Ishqiya.
