The series was announced in November 2018. An American series Ghostwriter follows a similar premise.
Synopsis The story follows a group of children: Sameera (Sharma), Satyajit (Gandhi), and Devraj (Kamble), who live in Bardez, Goa. The inquisitive friends form a ghost club and decide to seek a ghost at an old haunted villa in their neighbourhood as their first mission. Their curiosity stems from an old story involving an old man who died in a novel called The Ghost of Sultanpore. However, before the children are able to discover the ghost, a new family moves in and the legend of the villa resurfaces with frightening intensity. The story revolves around the mystery behind the titular typewriter, which seems to harbor a grudge against those who try to remove it from the manor. It is further complicated by the narrative of past occupants, with the story jumping between decades. Sudden deaths, past of Sultanpore, and unnatural powers are also the storylines of the webseries.
