Filmmakers Raj and DK's Netflix show Rakt Brahmand was rumoured to have been shelved.

Overview

  • Filming has been on hold since early June after the indoor talkie schedule wrapped and major script rewrites got under way.
  • A reported budget crisis and alleged financial irregularities prompted the scrapping of 26 days of footage and spurred a cost review.
  • Netflix and creators Raj and DK describe the pause as a delay in a multi-schedule shoot rather than a cancellation.
  • Leads Ali Fazal, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu have not filmed for months and have moved on to other projects.
  • The series lacks a finalized release date as the team awaits suitable outdoor conditions for the next action-heavy schedule.
