Development:
Director-writer Sriram Raghavan saw L’Accordeur (The Piano Tuner), a 2010 French short film about a blind pianist, in 2013 at the recommendation of his friend, filmmaker Hemanth Rao. Raghavan said although his film is different, the French film was its “basic germ”. He wanted Rao to write a script based on the short but Rao was directing a film of his own. Raghavan then worked on Badlapur (2015) and had the “gist of the story”. After reading about Kaabil , which is also about a blind man, he was about to start writing but stopped, thinking having two films about blind people would be “crazy”. Raghavan later resumed the script, taking a different approach.
The idea of a blind pianist performing while a body is being dumped and a crime scene cleaned up fascinated Raghavan, who had written a similar scene for his previous film,Agent Vinid (2012), in which a blind girl plays the piano while surrounded by mayhem. Raghavan wrote the script with Arijit Biswas, Yogesh Chandekar, Rao and Pooja Ladha Surti. He gave the story idea to Varun Dhavan while they were working on Badlapur but Dhawan became busy with other films and the script was left unfinished. Raghavan discussed the scenes with the writers, who reacted as viewers.
Raghavan and Biswas were unhappy while translating the dialogue from English to Hindi because they thought in English. Raghavan told Biswas to write the dramatic dialogue in Bengali, which was “at least the Indian idiom”. Surti wrote another version of the dialogue because her Hindi was better than that of the others. Raghavan cited the television srrirs Fargo and the film of the same name as an inspiration, calling them “realistic and yet … bizarre”. One of his friends was in a situation similar to one in the film; he then realised old Hindi films use “piano songs” and decided make the blind pianist the main character.
Film Shooting:
Ayushamann Khurrana heard about the film from casting director Mukesh Chhabra and contacted Raghavan, expressing interest in working on it. Raghavan conducted screen tests of the scene in which the protagonist wakes up blind: “There were two pieces – when you are acting blind and when you are actually blind, and we tried both. I wanted to see what the difference in his body language would be.” Khurrana, who played the piano in the film, met several blind students and observed “how [a blind pianist] plays, conducts and moves his hands”.Khurrana studied piano for four hours daily under Akshay Verma, a pianist based in Los Angeles , and did not use a body double in the film. He called it the “most challenging role” of his career.
Raghavan told Khurrana not to watch films with a blind protagonist and took him to the National School of the Blind. He said, “Since no two persons are the same, I picked up the nuances, learnt how to hold the stick and climb the stairs”.Khurrana made omelettes and walked on the street blindfolded. He was given a pair of special lenses that impaired his vision by around 80 percent. His body language changed because he could no longer see properly. After wearing the black glasses, his vision was affected by 90 percent and he shot the entire film like that. Raghavan called Radhiak Apte , who agreed to play Khurrana’s love interest. Several scenes were improvised. Tabu was Raghavan’s first choice for Simi. He did not brief her about scenes and they “kept developing [the character] as it went”. Anil Dhawan played a former actor, a version of himself.
