As indicated by the film’s title, producer and co-writer Amar Kaushik, along with director Aditya Sarpotdar, have crafted two compelling roles for Padda — the guardian Shakti and the malevolent Shalini. According to insiders, the horror comedy follows Shakti, an ordinary woman who becomes a formidable force when her family faces an attack by a sinister spirit. A source shared, “Rooted in Bengali folklore and mythology, the movie revolves around the eternal battle between good and evil. The story is about a vengeful female ghost, dwelling in trees and water bodies, who punishes men, as she was betrayed and killed in a brutal manner. In Bengal, the goddess invoked to destroy evil spirits is Goddess Kali. She is recognised as the ultimate form of Shakti. Here, the character Shakti is pitted against the spirit.”

The film’s production began last month in Mumbai. The crew is reportedly now shooting at Madh Island, where a sprawling set resembling a small West Bengal town has been constructed. The source added, “Next, they will head to Madhya Pradesh for an extensive schedule. Crucial scenes will be filmed in Datia, Gwalior, Morena, and other towns.”
