Concept
The idea was to depict the isolated town of Rudrakund, lacated in the Himalias with a taste of an ominous presence. The title montage has visuals that have been inspired directly from the show, intercut with darker undertones that hint at something sinister brewing at the heart of the town.
Ep. 1
In the pilot episode, titled "The Dead Can Talk”, a sinister attack unveils the onset of a reign of terror. To depict the Asur's mask, we ingeniously utilised the coordinates embedded within the implants, adding an intriguing layer to the narrative. The backdrop features a striking silhouette of a Tibetan Monastery, a poignant symbol that ties into the storyline, especially as DJ, the character played by Arshad Warsi finds himself within its enigmatic confines

"The Past, the Present, and the Future," our design approach centered around incorporating the Nakshatra, celestial signs that hold.
