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.
