Led by Mrunal Thakur and produced by SS Rajamauli, the 9 episode miniseries was going to showcase the rise of Shivagami but the Netflix weren't happy with the product and decided to scrap it all together. The makers are asked to reshoot the entire thing with a whooping 200 crore rupees budget. A source clsoe to the development revealed, Netflix was not satisfied with the product they had in hand and hence decided to scrap it completely putting Rs 100 crore as bad debts.
