Work had already begun in terms of shoot on the series, which is tentatively titled The Actress’. We did shoot for a week to ten days in India with her (Madhuri). But because of the lockdown the shoot got cancelled, a source close to the production said.
Reportedly, the series focuses on a global superstar, who vanishes without a trace and how her life is stripped away uncovering hidden truths and painful lies.
