Production 
In an interview to The Times of India, Ohmkar said " just couldn’t find time for it, so it did not materialise. Initially, we thought of going ahead with a tried and tested format but after the success of Raju Gari Gadhi and its sequel, I knew the audience will expect something different. So, I decided to do something yet simple. That’s how I hit upon the concept of Sixth Sense. I would also like to mention the DoP, R. Diwakaran, a key factor behind the show."
