In a recent interview with PTI, Ishaan revealed that people who are not privy to the lives of Indians will find it fascinating. "The setting and the characters are very compelling.

For the unversed, the series is based on Vikran Seth's novel of the same name and set in 1950s. “It has been one of my favourite novels since the day it was written. I read it repeatedly and felt as if it was my best friend. I felt a sense of great companionship and understanding and a sense of evoking a time in India in which I longed to have lived. I just vowed to direct the adaptation of it,” director Mira Nair revealed.
Apart from prominent names from the Hindi film industry, the series stars around 113 actors in all. Netflix is yet to announce the release date for India.
