Blumhouse Television and SK Global Entertainment are the executive producers of the show. Blumhouse is the same banner involved with horror projects like Paranormal Activity, Insidious and many more.
Talking about the plot of Betaal, a remote village becomes the theatre of a breathless battle when a two-century-old Betaal, a British Indian Army officer, and his battalion of zombie redcoats are unleashed upon the locals. With the CIPD (Counter Insurgency Police Division) pitted against the undead army, hapless villagers are trapped in a horrific, edge-of-your-seat conflict.
Betaal has been shot extensively in India, especially in Mumbai, Lonavala and Khandala as it revolves around a fictional Indian folklore. The series will definitely be genre bending in terms of horror content with some incredible VFX and prosthetics work
Produced by Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment in collaboration with Netflix, Betaal is their second outing after Bard Of Blood that also starred Viineet Kumar alongside Sobhita Dhulipala and Emraan Hashmi.
