Kalki Koechlin said, “Bhram is an intriguing story and the character I essay is really complex. I heard the script and then kept thinking about it for days. It is almost frightening how the human mind works. I am looking forward to the shoot and the release on ZEE5.”

It is a tight script, beautifully nuanced and I hope we are able to translate this on screen.
