Ashutosh revealed that his character in the show comes with many layers and initially may give an impression that he has returned to negative characters but as the viewers will delve deeper, they will get to know about his complexities. He said in a statement, "Initially, to the viewer, it may feel like I am back to playing a dark role, but the character of Guru Shahstri has too many grey shades. He is devious, convincing, and, most importantly, has the cover of mystery that other players in 'Karm Yuddh' do not have. I am happy that I got an opportunity to work with some of the finest actors."

The series will also mark the first collaboration between Sri Adhikari Brothers and Disney+ Hotstar. Adhikari Brothers have ruled the Indian television space for long with shows like 'Yes Boss' and 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah'.

Commenting on the occasion of the series announcement, director Ravi Adhikari said in a statement, "We are elated to bring a remarkable story like Karm Yuddh to Disney+ Hotstar. 'Karm Yuddh' is a high-octane family drama with complex characters. It has everything that makes the show a binge worthy watch." He added, "I am honored to direct some of the brilliant actors with whom I share the same energy of giving our best. I am glad we get to mark our first association with the platform of a captivating story like 'Karm Yuddh'".

'Karm Yuddh' will drop on Disney+ Hotstar on September 30, 2022.
