Devguru, a renowned doctor, who has sacrificed the worldly pleasures and became renowned after a past accident, keenly searches for the Devi whom he considers would save the world from evil and sin which he finds in Iti.

Development

The first promo of the series was released on 20 January 2020 where Jared Savaille and Hirva Trivedi were introduced. The second promo was released on 31 January 2020 featuring Shruti Seth and Rahil Azam.[7] The next promo featured Savaille and Trivedi with the rap sang by Savaille himself.[8]

Initially titled Jannat, it was later renamed Dil Jaise Dhadke... Dhadakne Do.[9]

The show is created by Bollywood film maker and director Mahesh Bhatt. Talking about the show, he said, "Our show is basically questioning the narrative that is prevalent among men – to be treated separately. There is a man who believes that this child is a vehicle for the goddess to step into the world. On the other hand, the young compassionate boy says she is just my friend, and no Devi. This is the pitch where the battle takes place".[10]

Owing Covid-19 outbreak, the shootings were stalled since 19 March 2020 and the series telecast was halted midway on 27 March 2020 and was to resume shoot after the lockdown ends.[11][12] However, in May 2020 it was confirmed not returning back, being axed by the channel as it garnered low ratings while running before.[4] Because of it Rajveer Singh and Ashi Singh who were supposed to enter the series as Yug and Iti after a leap in story planned on end of March 2020 was not possible.[13][14][15]
