According to Chanchlani, the series represents a deeply personal project and his most ambitious narrative effort.[5]
Development

Release
[edit]As of May 2025, no official release date has been confirmed. However, the series is expected to premiere on Chanchlani’s YouTube channel or a partnered OTT platform in late 2025.[9]
