Home,
which
stars
maven
actors
like
Annu
Kapoor,
Supriya
Pilgaonkar,
Amol
Parashar
and
Parikshit
Sahani,
is
sure
to
resonate
with
every
Indian
who
dreams
to
have
his/her
own
shelter.
The
show
is
loosely
based
on
the
true
events
revolving
around
the
story
about
a
housing
society
where
families
have
lost
their
homes
due
to
misconduct
of
the
builder.
The
makers
of
the
show
are
leaving
no
stone
unturned
to
make
the
show
authentic
in
every
way
possible.
After
performing
an
extensive
research,
the
makers
of
the
show
have
recreated
the
set
which
bears
a
strong
resemblance
to
Worli's
Campa
Cola
Compound.
Ekta
has
roped
in
Habib
Faisal,
who
presented
the
story
of
a
middle-class
family
with
his
debut
film
Do
Dooni
Chaar.
And
he
will
be
exploring
the
genre
yet
again
for
the
web
series.
Venturing
into
the
digital
space
for
the
first
time,
Habib
Faisal
is
finally
making
content
about
a
middle-class
family
after
his
debut
film,
as
the
director
always
wanted
to
explore
the
genre
a
bit
more.
The
director
depicted
the
struggle
of
a
common
middle-class
family
to
buy
a
car
in
the
times
of
inflation
with
his
debut
film
Do
Dooni
Chaar.
Habib
was
quoted
as
saying,
"When
I
was
contacted
by
the
ALTBalaji
team
I
was
told
one
line
of
the
story
and
that
one
line
was
enough
for
me
to
say
'yes'.
Secondly,
when
I
was
told
that
this
is
to
be
done
as
web
series,
I
had
my
apprehensions.
I
myself
am
a
fan
of
some
very
well
known
web
series
and
I
thought
if
I
was
to
direct
one,
will
I
do
a
good
job?"
He
further
added,
"But
then
that
challenge
itself
was
very
exciting
and
so
I
dived
into
it.
With
ALTBalaji,
from
day
one,
Ekta
told
me
that
I
should
have
the
complete
ownership
of
the
show
and
she
as
ALTBalaji
head
has
honoured
this
from
the
word
go
till
the
very
end.
Hats
off
to
Ekta
for
letting
me
tell
this
story
the
way
I
wanted
to."
A
few
days
ago,
Ekta
took
to
social
media,
"My
moment
of
pride
!
D
best
show
I
have
done
in
years
!
Something
no
one
will
expect
from
us!
Based
on
true
events
!
D
story
of
a
family
a
society
against
the
establishment."
