Kanika Dhillon Opens Up About Her Inspiration Behind Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba
Kanika revealed, “I have been a Khoon Bhari Maang [1988] fan. I’ve always wanted to write a moment that would be a hat-tip to that film. The shot in the trailer, where a crocodile comes next to their boat, is personal. I loved creating this world of Haseen Dillruba. The audience’s love was unprecedented. Taapsee was gung-ho [about the sequel] from the concept level. Vikrant backed me completely. The mauj comes from my artistes who tell me to make a movie that’s raw and riskier. Now, we have gone bolder. The audience reminded me last time that they are ready for risqué stories. So, we shouldn’t fear giving them the unconventional.”

The writer producer also spoke about how Rani’s character is flawed and imperfect and it is time that we narrate tales of imperfect people and celebrate them.
She said, “A section of the audience picked on these aspects of the film, and rightly so. These are healthy debates. Movies about imperfect characters and their flaws must start these conversations. All reactions that come to me are welcome. But I would feel bad if my stories are met with indifference. I love being polarizing. I’m an artist. If I have written a story, I’m aware that it is made for all factions of society.”
Produced by Anand L Rai, Himanshu Sharma, Kanika Dhillon and T-Series Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba is releasing on 9th August exclusively on Netflix and stars Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey and Sunny Kaushal in pivotal roles.
