The King Himself

The King Himself is an upcoming Indian psychological action miniseries independently created by Prashast Singh. Consisting of 10 episodes, it features Prashast Singh in the leading role and is inspired by his personal experiences with OCD. It metaphorically depicts the story of Dainik, a young man who tries to fight intrusive thoughts that are disrupting his solitary life.

Initially planned to be made as a film, The King Himself was finalized as a web series after watching anime shows proved highly influential for Prashast, who used to believe TV shows tend to be longer than necessary. This is his first work in this format, and limited to 10 episodes, running 15 minutes each. It also features soundtrack composed by Prashast, with different songs for each episode.

The show was announced on 15 December 2020. It will be distributed independently by Prashast himself.

Synopsis
Dainik is an OCD survivor who intends to help others suffering with the same problem. He narrates how the last one month before his recovery felt inside and outside of his head, and how this disorder troubled him but also taught him a number of life values he never believed he could learn by himself.
