In an exclusive conversation with ANI, he spoke about the entire idea behind the series and said, “As we claimed that this is India's first climate fiction. When we discuss curses, we often refer to mythology. Curse denotes cause and effect. you hear about floods and droughts in day-to-day life. Scientists predict that major cities like Mumbai and Bangkok would be submerged as a result of the same cause, which is what we refer to as the curse in the series.” The Jengaburu Curse Teaser: Nila Madhab Panda’s Cli-Fi Thriller Series on Sony LIV Merges Eco-Crisis With Science Fiction (Watch Video).

Panda further talked about the shooting of the series, saying, “You probably haven't seen much of Odisha in popular cinema, yet that's where the majority of the shooting took place. With woods, oceans, even mines, waterfalls, culture, and everything else, Odisha is a really lovely place. It is all shown in the series. We have not done the shooting in the studio. You will see a new world even though it was a lot of hardship because we shot in a very deep forest.” The Jengaburu Curse Trailer Out!
