Newzdaddy Entertainment updates
In a thrilling revelation, director Ruchi Narain shares the behind-the-scenes story of her ambitious project, “Karmma Calling,” set to premiere exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar on January 26, 2024. The series, featuring the talented Raveena Tandon as the powerful Indrani Kothari, promises a world of opulence, deceit, and betrayal.
A Vision 10 Years in the Making:
Director Ruchi Narain opens up about the lengthy journey from concept to creation. Her inspiration stemmed from Mumbai’s urban legends, weaving tales of billionaires safeguarding their wealth while projecting an ideal facade to the world. The intrigue deepened after watching the international show “Revenge,” prompting Narain to embark on an official Indian adaptation.
“When I thought of making the show a decade ago, my first choice was Raveena Tandon. She embodies everything the character of Indrani Kothari needs – glam, sass, and power,” shares Narain. However, challenges, including large-scale production, meticulous casting, and location choices, loomed over the project. Just as everything fell into place, the pandemic hit, causing delays and reshuffling priorities.
