Director Abhishek Chaubey Talks About Making Killer Soup

?"I have always been fascinated with the kind of space and storytelling where I do not do this monotone thing. I don't think life is like that. I've always wanted to do things which sort of blend a lot of moods. More than genres, it is (this series) different moods. I want to show the audience that it's something pretty dark but they can laugh at it at the same time," Chaubey told PTI in an interview.
