“We decided to adapt the story to the Indian nuance, where a diverse set of characters from different backgrounds, grappling with an unexpected turn of events – a journey that will keep audiences at the edge of their seats.
“The series takes an unfiltered look at the everyday dilemmas, emotions and conflicts the youth goes through. We can’t wait for our members to catch this thrilling series,” she added.
