After Bollywood director Madhur Bhandarkar it is now the turn of yet another film director who will be doing a series on Sony. Noted director Vikram Bhatt will be soon making his small screen debut. And that too with a story inspired from the real life of Monica Bedi.

A source informs, “Vikram Bhatt is producing a reality based thriller for Sony titled Haddh. It will air every Monday at 10 pm and will launch in the last week of February. The story is inspired by the real life story of Monica Bedi. Vikram Bhatt has written the story and his long time associate Sanjay Khanna is directing the series. Vikram Bhatt and Sanjay Khanna were assisting Shekhar Kapoor for Bandit Queen and since then the two have been doing many projects together. Girish Dhamija is writing the dialogues. He has written dialogues for many Vishesh films like Gangster, Yakeen, etc.”

As everyone knows the Bhatt camp is known to give opportunities to new talent. This time too they aren’t doing any different. “Radhika Menon who has done a film in the South is playing the protagonist. As for the male lead, there is no such male lead in the series. Three male actors playing pivotal roles are Dilip Thadeshwar who has acted in Mumbai Salsa, television actor Amit Tandon and the third actor is not yet finalised. Murli Sharma is playing a gangster. Few of the other actors are yet to be finalised.”

Vikram Bhatt said, “I am not allowed to talk as Sony has told us not to speak anything on the series.”
