To be very honest, even if the concept of Split Personality is appealing and works here, I would like the makers to stay away from it.
To show DID , the makers would need to do extreme research. If they are planning to make Anjaan disappear just like that later when he is discovered as an alter, then that would be a huge disappointment.
I've seen shows based solely on that trope and it works if the makers are able to portray the psychological side of it which includes the emergence, how it is triggered and when and how the alter overpowers the main ego.
Which means that if they plan to go the DID way, they would need to show how the alter emerged, and some of you said that his father's disappearance may have caused that. Fair enough, but an alter also emerge so that the main character can cope, kind of like a defence mechanism. So, we would need an insight upon that.
Moreover, for an alter to emerge, very often you need a trigger, kind of crisis where the main ego is not able to cope, and that is when the alter takes over. Most of the times Anjaan appeared is when either Dri or his family were facing a crisis. But how would they explain when Romi got into contact with Anjaan. There was no crisis at that time, so there's that. In the plane accident and engagement and fire, how come there were no trigger, hence, no Anjaan?
Additionally,they would have to focus on the back story, showing whether the main ego and the alter are aware of each other, and how Anjaan trained and how come Chiru knows Anjaan and whether he is aware. All this leading to the conflict of Anjaan and Rakshit.
The alter also generally have traits different from the main ego, developed as a way to cope, so we would need to see that. And then, there would be the healing process as well.
All this takes space and when your show already focuses on supernatural, thriller, romance and family tropes, can the makers add in blend the psychological side with Anjaan/Rakshit and give us a tight story that keeps us on our edge.
I have my doubts.
P. s-Kdrama Kill me, Heal me is an epic in the DID realm.
