Director Sangeeth Sivan, known for his work in both Hindi and Malayalam cinema with films like “Kya Kool Hain Hum” and “Apna Sapna Money Money,” shares insights into the film’s premise. He stated, “The film is a nostalgic journey back to 2007 when young people shared a small house, cherishing in-person interactions without the intrusion of smartphones and social media. They engaged with each other, played games, shared stories, and simply hung out. Comedy heavily relies on the chemistry and camaraderie among actors, along with clever lines, while horror demands skill to create the desired ambiance. Combining these two genres is both exhilarating and challenging.”
Reflecting on the experience of reuniting with Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor, Sangeeth Sivan added, “Shreyas and I previously collaborated on the comedy film ‘Apna Sapna Money Money’ and the horror film ‘Click.’ Now, we are combining both in a single movie. Working with someone you’ve collaborated with before comes with a natural ease, as you’re well aware of their capabilities. My association with Tusshar dates back to ‘Kya Kool Hain Hum,’ and we share a fantastic rapport. When I conceived this role, I was certain that Tusshar was the perfect fit for it.”
Producer Jayesh Patel expressed his motivation for supporting this project, saying, “When I joined forces with the esteemed director Sangeeth Sivan, my decision was straightforward: the story offered high entertainment value while delivering a meaningful message about today’s youth. The narrative revolves around young individuals striving to balance their careers and personal lives, only to accidentally summon a ghost. Each actor brings a unique and quirky essence to their characters, seamlessly fitting the roles as scripted. With a captivating storyline, comedic moments, and an all-encompassing entertainment experience, we aim to leave the audience with smiles on their faces.”
