New faces are joining the cast. Actress Shweta Basu Prasad is joining the ensemble cast for the third season. The specific details of her character are currently kept under wraps.
The production team is still finalising the remaining cast members, with further updates anticipated ahead of the shoot.
A source told Pinkvilla, "The scripting is locked and the team is preparing to begin shooting in September. Shweta Basu Prasad is joining the cast, and Gaurav Shukla will take over the director’s chair this season."
New director on board
The new season features a significant shift in production responsibilities. Series creator and writer Gaurav Shukla will make his directorial debut for the upcoming episodes. Shukla will also serve as a producer for the third season of Asur.
Oni Sen directed the first two seasons of the series. During that production period, Shukla previously served only as the writer and creator.
The first season was released in 2020, followed by second season in 2023. Both seasons received appreciation from critics and audiences. Asur Season 1 was released on Voot, and the second season streamed on JioCinema.
Earlier, in an interview with Mid-Day, Arshad said that Asur 3 was his next project. "I am yet to read the script, but verbally we know that it’s happening," he said.
