Noted director Prakash Jha helms the series. He’s the man behind a number of critically acclaimed hard-hitting films like Gangajal, Apaharan, Rajneeti, Aarakshan and Satyagraha.
Dera will mark his digital debut.

The regular shooting of Dera commenced some time back. It is expected to wrap up in the coming month.
