Divulging details about the wrap, a source says, ?Maniesh began the shoot for the show in mid-June, around the promotions of his film, Jugjugg Jeeyo. He is an extremely dedicated and hardworking actor who gave his all to the show. He re-joined the sets after the film?s release.”

Talking to IANS earlier about being a part of the web series, Paul had said, “I am happy to get roles where I can show my skills as an actor beyond just one genre that is comedy. I cannot talk much about this web series but I am not playing a comic character and it is a very interesting role about which I will be able to talk more in December. It?s a thriller drama and I was very happy when this project came to me as now people will see me doing something different.”
The makers have begun the post-production of the yet-to-titled series. It is expected to release early next year.
