The series is based on Vish Dhamija's bestselling book Bhendi Bazaar.

Nikhil Madhok, director & head of Originals at Prime Video India, said the show aims to push the envelope further with a genre-defying narrative.

"Daldal isn't your typical psychological crime thriller. It goes beyond the conventional whodunnit to ask 'why' weaving together themes of trauma vulnerability and resilience into its very fabric," he said.
