She shared a picture from the first day on the set and captioned it, "The past never stays buried for long. Rita's journey with daldal commences from today."

Amrit Raj Gupta is directing the project. The show is based on Bhendi Bazaar by Vish Dhamija.

Talking about her role, Bhumi earlier said, "I'm naturally drawn to challenges. That's my core. Have always done this right since my debut.. I believe that we are in the age of content and actors can really shine bright with these opportunities. Daldal is the perfect project for me to show a completely new side to my acting performance. It presents me in a whole new way and I love pushing my boundaries."

She added, "I love that in Daldal, I play a woman who has shattered the glass ceiling by being appointed as the DCP of Mumbai. She is a super achiever in a man's world and I loved that layer of the show along with all the beautiful complexities that the role and the script has to offer. I think a character like this will resonate with the times that we live in because a woman is no longer shackled down and is ambitious and independent."

On working with producer Vikram Malhotra again, Bhumi said, "I'm really excited to be teaming up again with Vikram after our blockbuster Toilet-Ek Prem Katha and the hugely acclaimed Durgamati. I'm delighted to be working with a mind like Suresh Triveni whose work I admire a lot and of course Amrit Raj Gupta! I hope we can create another blockbuster together for Amazon Prime Video and make India proud on the global content landscape. My last hit streaming project Bhakshak made me reach out to so many people across the world and I wish Daldal does the same."

The series Daldal promises to be an intense, gripping story, in which Bhumi Pednekar's character, DCP Rita Ferreira, will embark on an investigation of a series of murders while dealing with her own past and present. (ANI)
