In another interview with Times Now in June, Rajeev Khandelwal shared more details on the show, “It's a very interesting series. The closest parallel I can think of is Indiana Jones.”

It’s about a secret that was meticulously hidden by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and his intelligence chief Bahirji Naik. This profound secret is guarded even today by eight bodyguards of the great king. The book’s description further states that it ‘connects the fourteenth century, seventeenth century, and twenty-first century’.
