Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Geethu Mohandas made Liar's Dice and Moothon — gritty indies about displaced men. This is her $50 million 'sell-out' that actually weaponizes blockbuster scale to interrogate toxic masculinity rather than celebrate it.
Yash learned Konkani and Portuguese for six months, then Geethu had Raya speak mostly in silence anyway. The man was reportedly furious until he saw the rushes.
