'Yudh' is the story Yudhishthir Sikarwar (played by Bachchan), a real estate baron, who has recently been diagnosed with a degenerative neurological disorder. It traces his journey, his struggle with his collapsing health, his battle with business rivals and his complicated family equations.

The show is co-produced by Bachchan's production company Saraswati Creations, in collaboration with Endemol India. Anurag Kashyap is the creative director while Shoojit Sircar has been roped in as a creative consultant. Ribhu Dasgupta directs the series.
