Production

Development

The production and filming of series took place in Akeri, Maharashtra in Konkan Region.[7] The filming of Season 2 was stopped on 27 March 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic. But, new episodes of this show were started airing from 13 July 2020.[8] The show went off air in late August and making way for Crime series Devmanus.[9]

I believe that, our responsibility doubled after the official announcement of season 2. Also, the storyline of the show is loaded with suspense. All the characters from the season 1 will be seen in the latest season too. Moreover, new characters will be added too. Also, we have chosen same Naikancha Wada for the shoot.
