The narrative weaves contemporary events with historical legend to create a layered sense of time.

Hyderabad serves as the modern backdrop for the political thriller, with the action centered around the dilapidated Bhaagamathie bungalow on the village’s edge. The house is depicted as a haunted, crumbling relic that becomes the interrogation site. The setting blends urban governance with a remote, legend-haunted locale.
