Ali Abbas Zafar also revealed how a lot of time is required in the post-production work. About it he further mentioned, “Once you deliver your project, it has to be dubbed in nine languages. So, the post-production takes three to four months, longer than the shoot itself.” The director also shared how the working title of the show was Tandav and how it was later changed to Dilli by the makers. He stated, “We are struggling with the name. That’s why Amazon has not been able to make an official announcement.” So it’s pretty clear that Dilli wouldn’t be dropped online anytime soon. But we are sure, this wait would be worth the while!
