'Shaitan' director Mahi V Raghav intends to present a human drama through this series
T
he director told IANS that he didn't want the series to look very gloomy like 'Satya' or 'Gangs of Wasseypur' or any other regular gangster film.
He further spoke about the second part of the series with IANS In the second part, we will keep the theme and tone, very similar to the first part of Shaitan. As the first part of the story of Shaitan has ended well, we will have to figure out another 'Shaitan' that comprises a crime story, people, and family.
The director shared that crime was something that he knew very little about. Initially, when he started writing 'Shaitan', he just wanted to attempt a violent crime genre and the initial idea came to him when he was watching the show 'Mindhunter'.
It has nothing to do with 'Mindhunter' in terms of the story or narrative, but when I saw through it- the story of an FBI Unit who interviews all the criminals to solve a present case, one common thing I found was that most of the criminals were the victims of the hate crime of the society - victims of child abuse or violent childhood. That was the element that triggered 'Shaitan', he added.
'Shaitan' is available to stream on Disney+ Hotstar.
