According to The Indian Express, Zoya Akhtar issued a statement saying that working with Netflix is a "delight" adding, "I thrive on bending genres and inverting tropes and I am so looking forward to attempting that with a ghost story."
The Indian Express report further states Dibakar Banerjee as saying that the horror as a genre has immense room for experimentation adding, "Ultimately we are entertainers, and there’s nothing like a spine-chilling story scaring the devil out of us while we’re safely tucked in our sofa munching fries hugging a warm body.”
Director Anurag Kashyap said he is really looking forward to challenging himself with something he has never attempted before, while Karan Johar revealed that he has always been mortified to watch the horror genre and so "to direct one is not only hugely challenging but also exceptionally exciting."
