Having faced backlash for his crime drama, Aashram, Prakash Jha learnt early on that dabbling in a subject pertaining to religion can be tricky. However, the pros, he says, certainly outweigh the cons. Jha, who previously revealed that the subject holds promise among Indian cinephiles, tells mid-day that the next season will roll in a matter of a few months, should the situation be favourable.

"We will schedule our shoot when things improve. On one hand, things seem to be getting better, then we hear of a new viral strain doing the rounds," says the director, adding that while the first season was shot in Ayodhya over a three-month schedule, he is yet to arrive at the locations for season 2.
