Betaal: Shah Rukh Khan brings Zombies for his Netflix original

Team CineBlitz exclusively broke the news that Shah Rukh Khan will be producing his third series with Netflix and it will be titled Betaal and we were bang on with the details. King Khan will collaborate with Ghoul’s Patrick Graham for the second time. He has written the script of the show as well as is the show-runner for Betaal. Nikhil Mahajan is roped in as the director and Suhani Kanwar as the co-writer for the show. It will be produced by Blumhouse, known to design some of the best horror content, and Ivanhoe.

The story of Betaal will be based in a remote village that becomes the theatre of a breathless battle when a two-century-old betaal, a British Indian Army officer, and his battalion of zombie redcoats are unleashed. With Indian police pitted against the undead army, hapless villagers are trapped in a horrific, edge-of-your-seat conflict and you definitely don’t want to miss it.

Elaborating on the development, Patrick Graham said, “Indian legend is filled with tales that thrill, chill and bring the audience to the edge of their seat. It’s a pleasure working with Netflix again on Betaal and to be able to tap the narrative goldmine of Indian stories for a series that brings to life universal conflicts in the engaging and immersive zombie horror genre.”
