Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Masaan Holi is a real Varanasi tradition where pyre ashes become celebratory color, making the corruption plot culturally specific rather than generic festival backdrop.
Anirban Chakrabarti reportedly insisted on doing his own awkward running scenes, rejecting a stunt double because 'Eken doesn't move like someone who exercises.'
