Speaking about the show, Shailja Kejriwal, Chief Creative Officer, Special Projects, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd shares, “Qatil Haseenaon Ke Naam is an ode to women who dare to reclaim their powers despite all odds. The series explores reasons that can lead women to a point where they can go to any extent to avenge oppression. This is one of our most unconventional offerings, Poetic and deadly at the same time. We are excited to share a glimpse of it with our audience!”

Commenting on the series, Creator and Director, Meenu Gaur said, “I am excited that I got the chance to create a show which delivers on suspense, mystery, and entertainment while leaving the indelible stamp of a woman’s point of view all over it.

With this show, the femme fatale shake off several decades of the male gaze and play on their terms.”

Sarwat Gilani, who plays Mehak, said, “This series showcases the essence of life through different people and characters.
