Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mahesh Bhatt adapted this from 'The Howling' and 'An American Werewolf in London' but filtered through the arranged marriage anxieties of middle-class India—making the horror as much social as supernatural.
Rahul Roy's werewolf makeup took six hours daily, and he reportedly couldn't eat normally while wearing it—method acting meets actual suffering.
