As real as it gets

After creating a buzz around the storyline and characters of their upcoming investigative thriller series, the makers of Amazon Prime’s Paatal Lok recently released its trailer.

Sudip Sharma, the creator of the show, who has written critically-acclaimed films like NH10 and Udta Punjab, has some inside details to share. He says, “With the show we wanted to explore different cultures, perspectives and tales from various regions.

Throwing light on the process that went into the creation of the show, Sudip says, “We shot at about 110 different locations, which was a task! About 70 percent of the show has been shot at actual locations in Delhi, Gurgaon, Rohtak and Chitrakoot.”

Sudip adds, “The aimis to keep it as authentic as possible. We researched on various aspects— from how a cop station looks like to the design aesthetics of a policeman’s house in Delhi.”
