Temple Raiders is a layered and character-driven thriller where faith and greed collide."Ashutosh sir has directed the series with empathy towards the story sensitivities while putting on the forefront the many gripping and fantastical elements associated with the series," he said.Dipti Agrawal, Tushar Apshankar, Jaishree Khanna and Khanna serve as producers, with Priyanka Chaudhari as co-producer.This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
