In 2018, the entire country was shocked by the Burari deaths case where 11 members of the Chundawat family in Delhi died under strange circumstances, believed to be a ritual mass suicide. Five years on, director Robbie Grewal has reimagined the case to deliver a fictional narrative in Aakhri Sach.

In the Disney+ Hotstar crime drama, Tamannaah Bhatia plays inspector Anya, whose relentless pursuit of the truth in the case takes a toll on her. So, what made him revisit the case? Intrigue, says the director. “The Burari deaths was an intriguing case. There were no clear answers, the mystery remained unanswered. When I got a chance, I was happy to work on this. What happened to the family [leading up to their deaths] kept me intrigued all along,” shares Grewal.
