Filming on the main series wrapped in June 2022 and is currently in post-production. The Indian adaption of the series is being helmed by The Family Man directors Raj and DK.

Talking about Samantha, as we all know, she has always been a fighter. "It is draining and it is tiring but I have always been a fighter and I am going to fight," she said during the promotions of her film 'Yashoda'. Well, she is back on sets and it proves that it is in the work she finds solace.
