Talking about her role in the series, Bhumi, according to a release, said, "Playing Rita Ferreira has been one of the most intense and creatively fulfilling experiences of my career. She is a woman forged by ambition, haunted by doubt, and burdened by the weight of her past - a character who demanded that I explore the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength in ways I had never done before."
Daldal is directed by Amrit Raj Gupta and produced by Vikram Malhotra and Suresh Triveni under Abundantia Entertainment. The series is created by Suresh Triveni and written by Sreekanth Agneeswaran, Rohan D'Souza, Priya Saggi, and Hussain Haidry.
Along with Bhumi Pednekkar, the show also stars Samara Tijori and Aditya Rawal in key roles.
The story is based on Vish Dhamija's book Bhendi Bazaar. It focuses on how the police track a killer who plans his crimes carefully and leaves behind few clues.
Daldal is set to premiere on Prime Video on January 30.

Based on Vish Dhamija's book? That's a great sign. His crime novels are brilliant. Hope the series does justice to the source material. The pressure on the officer's personal life angle seems very realistic for our police force.
Looks promising! But I hope they focus on the police procedural and smart detective work, not just dramatic chases. We need more shows like 'Special Ops' that respect the audience's intelligence. Fingers crossed!
Bhumi Pednekar is such a versatile actress. From 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' to this is quite a journey. Her dedication to her roles is always impressive. The trailer has a very dark, atmospheric feel to it.
Abundantia Entertainment is producing, so quality is assured. They gave us 'Airlift' and 'Toofan'. The team behind it looks solid too. January 30 is marked on my calendar! Prime Video is really upping its Indian content game.
Respectfully, I hope the show avoids the usual tropes. Sometimes these crime dramas become too predictable or overly dramatic. A grounded, realistic portrayal of an investigation would be so refreshing. The premise is excellent though.
