This idea came into my mind after watching American tv series (The Walking Dead). I thought that it's high time that in India also there should be a TV series or a web series like that which will show the situation during a zombie apocalypse in India. So my idea for a web series or serial revolves around school students who get trapped in the school at the beginning of the apocalypse and then from there their journey begins for survival. It will be amazing to see how they get out of that school and where they go and yes among them there is someone who has a very strong connection with this outbreak. It will be interesting to watch how they will survive there and most importantly how they will escape and especially where Aryan destiny took him.It will have three seasons and I really feel it's time to go ahead of regular type of shows or typical saas bahu shows. Lets attract youth and kids and show them something thrilling which they have never experienced before.I have taken my character names if you want you can change it. Basically in the beginning the main characters for web series are Aryan, Karan, Rahul etc. Aryan is a special character because his father has a connection with that outbreak so it will be amazing to witness his journey.
