Tanuj Chopra returns as director and showrunner. The critically acclaimed crime drama, produced by Golden Karavan and SK Global Entertainment, has earned praise for its authentic portrayal of real-life inspired criminal cases in Delhi, the Indian capital.

Since her debut in Anurag Kashyap’s cult classic “Gangs of Wasseypur,” which screened at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, Qureshi has built an impressive career spanning eclectic roles.
