The team will commence shooting for the upcoming show from Saturday in Punjab.

“We will most likely wrap up the shoot this year and the show will release next year on Netflix,” the source said, adding that the second season will be set in Canada.

The show will be the second collaboration between Hooda and Janjua after their upcoming film “Tera Kya Hoga Lovely”.
