We couldn’t reach out to all of the above-mentioned names. However, we got connected with the captain of the ship this time. Sidhant Sachdev who is directing the series commented, “Those who don’t believe in dark magic will never find it as Ronald Dahl quoted. Tantra is a unique battle family feud and corporate politics played on the battleground of black magic, a game that is already dirty is sullied further when everything is put on the board, murder, death, betrayal, deceit and above all trust.”
