P. O. V - Bandi Yuddh Ke [Development story]
Star Plus approached Nikkhil Advani after watching his latest film D-Day, to direct a show based on the similar plotline on their channel. Star Plus had him watch both Hatufim and its American counterpart Homeland. Advani sought to make a show like Hatufim since he thought a show like Homeland would not suite Indian's sensibilities.
The budget of the series was ₹35 crores, and was shot in 90 locations along with about 150 crew members and with a budget of ₹27 Lakh per episode. The series was planned as a finite one for 126 episodes. However, due to very less viewership, it ended with 110 episodes.

[I felt to post this because today (28th Feb) Rudrakaal will be releasing with its very first episode on hotstar probably as the next high budget series after POV. I wish all the success to Rudrakaal although i know it wont make good in trp charts but hopefully the show and cast will get the universal audience support].
