Abhishek shared, “There were several challenges we faced when we started to flesh out Avi. (Director) Mayank Sharma and I spent weeks, if not months working on all his characteristics and nuances. There was much debate and discussion. We tried our best to make him as relatable as possible. We wanted the viewers to feel that maybe they could know somebody like Avi. He was not designed as your archetypical ‘Hero’.”

The series is created and produced by Abundantia Entertainment and created and directed by Mayank Sharma. The show has been written beautifully by Bhavani Iyer, Vikram Tuli, Arshad Syed, and Mayank Sharma.
