The way the script was written, my character and his backstory was so interesting. “I hadn’t done anything in the horror space and had never worn uniform onscreen. It’s a very compelling character and without giving away much all I can say is watch out for Betaal and the monster within us,” Manjiri said. “I am essaying the role of a tribal woman (Puniya) who is consumed by anger and hatred for the CIPD (Counter Insurgency Police Division) which eventually leads to an interesting turn of events. While the show lands on May 24 at midday, no advance copies have been shared with the media for a review. Shah Rukh earlier produced spy thriller Bard of Blood, featuring Emraan Hashmi, for the streaming service.

Set in a remote village, the show narrates the story of a team on a mission to help the villagers and fight the horrific enemy. You can expect some blood, some guts, and a lot of drama and emotion that should provide an exciting binge-session for everyone at home,” he added. I hope there is enough horror, suspense, shocks and, above all, strong characters to keep the audience hooked right up until the very end. “The series weaves its own ghost story to give backing to the action and suspense that then follows. The concept of a cursed mountain containing an ancient spirit takes inspiration from Indian mythology, and it’s about time we saw some zombie redcoats in popular fiction,” Graham told IANS.
“After Ghoul, I wanted to create a different kind of horror series, which was more action packed and accessible. Produced by Shah Rukh Khan, the four-episode series has been created, written and co-directed by Patrick Graham who earlier made Ghoul for the same streaming platform.
