Talking about the genre of the show and its demands, Shefali shared, "It's not a show that's sensationalising crime. It's actually when you go down to seeing it, even the way you see the cops and the whole system and how it functions — it's so raw. Like, they look exhausted. There is nothing larger-than-life in the show."

"The show is just not just about crime. It's in no way sensationalizing or commercializing, or manipulating the audience. It's giving the hard, raw facts — this is what it is."

Shefali, added.
