Ram Gopal Verma plans a new digital series

Digital media has opened an avalanche of opportunities for creative minds. Not only inexperienced people bubbling with fresh ideas are exploring the space, but established players like Dharma Productions and Balaji Motion Pictures also have their dedicated outlets to cater to the digital audience across the world.

The immense success of digital shows such as Sacred Games, Mirzapur and Apaharan has made one thing very clear that if you can offer fresh content, there is an audience out there ready to lap it up.


Well-known filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma knows the power of digital media just like any other filmmaker out there and hence he is quite serious about creating engaging and quality content for the new medium.

If reports are to be believed, he is planning a new web-series. Though nothing substantial is known about the project as yet, a source close to the development reveals an announcement will be made soon.

“The project is in the production stage and there will be an announcement about the same soon,” said the source.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
