Anushka Sharma has now ventured into producing web series with Paatal Lok. The series has been directed by Sudeep Sharma and is all set to drop on Amazon Prime Video on the 15th May, ’20.
According to a Mid-Day report, the series was shot in 110 different locations over 6 cities. The report quotes a Sudip Sharma as saying, "We wanted to explore different cultures, and perspectives, and [narrate] tales from various regions of India. The idea was to present to the audience what they possibly didn't know, or at least, in a manner they weren't familiar with. It is set in parts of Delhi and Punjab," quipped he.
The series revolves around the chasing of four suspects involved in the assassination of a renowned journalist. The premise of the web series also seems to have borrowed quite a bit from reality.
Sharma has been further quoted in the same report as saying, “I have spent a lot of time in Delhi, Punjab, Bundelkhand, and UP while researching for previous projects. Delhi is also the apex of Indian politics, and where the power centres lie. That most media channels operate out of Delhi was another reason to set the series there. The city is fascinating owing to its location too. It has the feel of a frontier town, bordering certain lawless parts of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan."
Gurgaon and Rohtak were the places in particular where most scenes of Jaideep Ahlawat, Neeraj Kabi and Gul Panag were filmed. Sharma was further quoted as saying, "While 70 per cent of the show has been shot at actual locations, the rest was done in Mumbai, where we recreated certain areas. We researched on various aspects, like what a cop station actually looks like, and the design and aesthetics of a Delhi policeman's home, and [integrated] that into the show to make it authentic.
