• Previously, Hansal Mehta told IANS that the series 'is not another boring biography'. "It is the unveiling of India's biggest cover up. It is a fast-paced, gripping tale on a man whose trajectory is one of the most fascinating stories ever," he further added.

• The web series in association with Balaji Entertainment is directed by Pulkit. Bose Dead or Alive will be streamed at AltBalaji. Hansal Mehta in collaboration with Rao has previously given us some amazing movies like Shahid, Citylights, and Aligarh.
