Mumbai, Sep 20 (IANS): Filmmaker Ashutosh Gowarikar, who is the part of diverse star cast of upcoming series ‘Kaala Paani’, which is set to release on October 18, called it an "intriguing project." 

Beyond the sparkling blue waters and glistening golden sands of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, an enthralling story of survival is set to unfold.
