‘Who Killed Shraddha?’, inspired by the dastardly murder of Shraddha Walkar by her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawala, that shook the conscience of the nation in 2022, will be shot entirely in Goa. The murder incident happened in Delhi and Shraddha hailed from Vasai near Mumbai. “We have adapted the story and script of the film. There were legal issues about the privacy of certain individuals, including the portrayal of the victim’s mother and father. Hence, the script had to be modified,” said director
Maneesh F. Singh.
While the film was earlier announced in 2023, it was delayed as the police investigation was still at a nascent stage.
Twenty-four-year-old Mumbai-based actress, Kashish Khandelwal, will play the role of Shraddha.
Shooting will begin in mid-January, revealed Singh, adding that while the main cast and actors are Bollywood faces, the entire supporting cast and junior artistes are Goan. “Technicians and unit hands will also be hired from Goa. We are trying to include as many Goan youth and film workers as possible. Ground transportation, catering, and security are all Goan. We want to promote Goa as a film destination,” said Singh. Two top musicians from Goa have also
been signed on.
