Adding more to the conversation, he said that on various social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter, people have been asking to release the show now.
Calling it a pressure, the director said that the makers don't want to rush the process. Their series was supposed to drop in the last quarter of 2020, and the team will stick to that deadline, he added. Adding further, he mentioned that if the show was ready, they would have released it now because the lockdown period is quite a good time to grab eyeballs.

Reportedly, while talking about his upcoming series, he said that the previous title, Tandav, captured more the essence of what the show is about. He also expressed that the team has to work hard and get a better name like House of Cards.
Details of the show
The upcoming series has already completed its shoot. The series also features actors such as Dimple Kapadia, Sarah Jane Dias, Amayra Dastur and Sunil Grover among many others. Saif will be seen essaying a politician in Amazon's original series. Interestingly, this show is written by Gaurav Solanki, who was also the writer of the hit 2019 film Article 15. If reports are something to go by, then the series has received the green light for a second season already.
