Speaking about the film, producer Anubhav Sinha shared, “It’s been an enriching experience collaborating with Sudhir on this important film. I believe ‘Afwaah’ is a very important film that accomplishes our objective of producing films that are high on content”.
Director Sudhir Mishra, known for films like Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and Chameli, said, “What if the monster chasing you is a bloody rumour? Basically you’re screwed because there’s no place to hide. The monster will always get there before you. What is worse is that sometimes the monster comes in the shape of a friend or a lover or a parent. If this is not the basis of an f***ing good thriller, then I don’t know what is! Presenting my reaction to our times: Afwaah.”
