“In a high-stakes battle for power, Arjun is tested time and again by those around him. Fuelled by ambition, and his calling to become the ‘Sultan Of Delhi’, Arjun must navigate a treacherous landscape to emerge victorious, where there is no stopping him and vengeance is unleashed,” read a note from the makers.

Anjumm Shharma, Nishant Dahiya, Anupriya Goenka, Mouni Roy, Harleen Sethi and Mehreen Pirzada are also featured in the cast of Sultan of Delhi.

Talking about the series, Milan Luthria said in a statement, “My team and I have worked very hard on Sultan Of Delhi, as I didn’t want to leave any stone unturned for my first outing on the web. The attempt has been to achieve a clutter breaker, a page turner of sorts. I hope the audience picks that up and enjoys it to the fullest.”
