Speaking to the actors from the said murder mystery.

The talents are furtively trying to drum up interest in their film before it releases in the cinemas, but are torn between revealing just enough about the plot to pique your interest in their latest thriller, but not give the proverbial farm away by revealing too much of the story. Understand­ably, the talents and the interviewe­r are on tenterhook­s.

A similar predicamen­t hit us when this journalist spoke to the actors featuring in director Sriram Raghavan’s Andhadhun, a suspense where a blind pianist played by Ayushmann Khurrana becomes a witness to a gruesome murder, out in the UAE today.

Indian National Award-winner Tabu, who was also honoured the prestigiou­s Indian civilian award Padmashri for her body of work, and actress Radhika Apte also play key roles in Raghavan’s urban noir.

Here’s what the main players have to say about their murder mystery, directed by Raghavan whose credits include the edgy, dysfunctio­nal thrillers Ek Hasina

Thi, Johnny Gaddar and Badlapur. As Apte, who plays Khurrana’s partner in Andhadhun, says: “All the characters in Sriram’s film are equally strange, but relatable.”
