Talking about the show’s theme, Advani said that Mumbaikars often discuss their whereabouts on the fateful night when this devastating incident shook the entire city and that's what he was trying to capture. There have been several shows and films centered on the incident but no one has explored the doctors’ side of it, he claimed explaining how unique his series would be. With this medical drama, the director claimed to portray the human spirit in the face of unprecedented danger and celebrate the brave doctors who had saved the day.
