Giving
a
sneak-peek
into
the
show,
the
video
shows
a
seemingly
peaceful
world
turning
into
a
dormant,
dark
and
dangerous
one.
The
video's
voiceover
speaks,
"Ancient
scripts
describe
a
world,
where
blood
is
shed
for
justice,
where
cruelty
thrives
in
the
garb
of
humanity,
where
lawlessness
is
the
only
law,
wiping
out
all
the
hope
of
life.
This
inescapable
hell
that
exists
beneath
our
world
is
called
Paatal
Lok"
According
to
the
official
synopsis,
the
show
is
written
by
Sudip
Sharma
and
features
Neeraj
Kabi,
Gul
Panag,
Jaideep
Ahlawat
and
others
in
the
lead
roles.
Not
much
has
been
revealed
about
the
premise
and
characters
of
the

thriller.
Paatal
Lok
is
also

to
as
'The
Underworld'
or

Filled

mystique,
