Collaborating with visionary creators like Prosit Roy, Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket, along with a powerhouse cast that brings intensity and authenticity to the screen, has been a great experience.”
He added that the series reflects the evolving appetite of Indian and global audiences for narratives that are both emotionally complex and genre-forward.

“At the surface Raakh is a thriller replete with unexpected turns and high-stakes drama. However, at the core this is a highly emotional story that will stay with audiences long after they have finished watching it. We have an exceptional cast with Ali Fazal, Sonali Bendre and Aamir Bashir bringing this high-stakes world created by Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket to life.”
