Director's insight
'Murderbaad' was a 2-page script I wrote in college: Chatterjee
While the trailer first hints at a driver being the culprit, as the clip plays, things get more twisted. Chatterjee revealed that the journey of Murderbaad began five years ago when he wrote a two-page script while still in college. He said, "It's inspired by the romance and thrill I grew up watching, but I wanted to set that mood in a distinctly rooted setting." "At its core, it's about the stories people bury to protect their identity."
Actor's perspective
Hashmi, Gupte praised Chatterjee's vision
Hashmi lauded Chatterjee for his unique approach to filmmaking. He said, "Despite being his debut Hindi feature film, Arnab left no stones unturned in bringing together a complete mix of fresh and extremely experienced members in the team." Gupte also praised Chatterjee's conviction and unique way of approaching the project. The film is touted as a taut whodunit thriller that delves into human psychology.
