About Andhadhun Movie:

• Hemanth M. Rao suggested to Raghavan in 2013 that he watch L’Accordeur (The Piano Tuner), a 2010 French short film about a blind pianist, written and directed by Olivier Treiner, which received internationally more than 70 prizes in more than 100 short movie festivals, including the 2012 César prize for short movie in France. Raghavan liked the film and was inspired from it.
• Ayushmann Khurrana was cast in the lead role after he contacted Raghavan and expressed an interest in working with him.
• The film was shot in Pune in 44 days spread over more than a year; principal photography began in June 2017 and ended on 17 July 2018.

• Andhadhun was scheduled for release on 31 August 2018 but its release was postponed until 5 October; the producers announced the delay in a trailer. Raghavan originally wanted the film’s trailer to only contain sounds because it is the story of a blind man but the studio was “shocked” at his suggestion. After several discussions, they agreed on a trailer.
