EXCLUSIVE: Paatal Lok Creator Sudeep Sharma Talks About The Most Difficult Scene: People Fainted On The Set, There Was Chaos

Paatal Lok is the all-new Amazon Prime Video web show which has been created by Sudeep Sharma. The show stars Jaideep Ahlawat and Abhishekh Banerjee in key roles.

The web series portrays the events following the murder of a journalist and a cop who is determined to hunt the culprits and pin them down. The creator of the show Sudeep Sharma got into an exclusive conversation with us where he revealed that the show is inspired by the book The Story of My Assassins written by Tarun Tejpal.

Time and again, we have seen how liberal journalists are brutally murdered in our country. Sudeep revealed that these real-life cases were definitely a starting point of the show but the show has a much deeper story to tell. “The real-life incidents of journalists being murdered was the starting point of the story but the story does go much beyond that. For me, more than the crime, it was the idea of exploring the life of the journalist. And where does he come from, what crossroads he finds himself in, from a particular point in time and where does he go from there. A whole section of the liberal media finds themselves on some crossroads and are no more in the driving seat of the discourse. What choices do they make now, because those choices shape it all, I wanted to portray that.
