Variety India reported that Aditya Roy Kapur’s next Dharma production is shaping up to be a slasher comedy infused with horror, satire, and dark humour.

"We finished most of our indoor talkie schedule, and we are now prepping for the next big schedule that is mostly outdoors and action. The plan is to wait for the rains to clear for a suitable filming window. We also need lush greens for this period set up. So yeah, we are prepping for the next big action schedule," they said.

The series reportedly centres on a fierce rivalry between two princes battling for the throne, unfolding under the ominous presence of the red-eyed goddess Raktakshi Devi.
