Did you know that Sriram Raghavan's 'Andhadhun' was inspired by a song sequence from his own film 'Agent Vinod'?

Ayushmann Khurrana starrer 'Andhadhun' created quite a few waves when it released late last year and became a cult hit. But did you know the inspiration behind the film?


Director Sriram Raghavan took the inspiration of a blind piano artist from his own film 'Agent Vinod', in which a blind lady piano artist played the instrument during the song 'Raabta'. Along the way while scripting the film, after reading about '

Kaabil

' (2017), another film about a blind man, when he was about to start writing, Raghavan stopped: "It would be a bit crazy to have two movies about visually impaired people". He later resumed the script, taking a different approach. Raghavan wrote the script with Arijit Biswas, Yogesh Chandekar, Rao and Pooja Ladha Surti. Raghavan had given the story idea to Varun Dhawan while they were working on '

Badlapur

' (2015), but Dhawan became busy with other films.
