It takes off when a mining expedition threatens the village fabled with a temple that legends say can unleash a deadly curse when harmed. But an IAS officer sets out on a mission to battle age-old superstitions that shroud the village in the face of mysterious killings and disappearances.

The nine-episode series, which was filmed in Rajasthan, tells the story of cursed caves, undiscovered riches, and family secrets. For the unversed, Rajasthan is a lovely city with a rich tradition and culture.

However, with beauty comes the beast, and it is also claimed to be a location for old tales of superpowers.

Don¡¯t you know the Bhangarh Fort Myth?

It is supposed to have been cursed by a monk named Guru Balu Nath, and the location, which was once used for meditation, is now noted for its haunting activities.

Chopra is well recognised for her appearances in Taare Zaamanee Pe and 'Jug Jugg Jeeyo,' in which she co-starred with Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani. Tisca Chopra, like many other actresses in their late 40s, is building a name for herself in the OTT arena by playing the major role.

The Actress believe that it was a great opportunity to play another layered character. Speaking About Her Character, Tisca Said

What I love most about 'Dahan - Raakan ka Rahasya' is how it captures raw fear as each character faces their own demons. My character Avani Raut fights personal and professional battles when she is caught in the crossfire of superstition and the supernatural, and practicality on the other. The show puts her on a quest by drawing parallels between her external and internal fears, which all of us confront.

She further adds, ¡°It's been an absolute delight to bring Dahan and Avani to the audiences. I'm extremely proud to bring this layered grey character.¡±

The Director Also Stated How Happy He Is With Dahan

Aside from the characters and the plot, the mise-en-scene was also used to contribute to the mystic essence of this supernatural thriller. The show's unique pace keeps the viewer hooked until the mystery surrounding Shilaspura is uncovered.

The series also features Rajesh Tailang, Mukesh Tiwari, Saurabh Shukla, Ankur Nayyar, Rohan Joshi, and Lehar Khan. It will stream on Disney+ Hotstar.
