'Paatal Lok' creator Sudip Sharma has said he wanted to keep the web series organic, adding, "As much as 'Paatal Lok' is political, we didn't want it to feel like we're overtly pushing agendas." Furthermore, Sudip said he wanted to explore divisions such as caste and religion. "It's possible to outgrow class...but...impossible to grow out of...caste...religion in [India]," said Sudip.
