[edit]Development
[edit]Dirty Hari marks M. S. Raju's directorial return after his 2012 film Tuneega Tuneega.[1] In an interview with Deccan Chronicle, Raju was quoted: "...[the bold scenes] will be shown in a poetic way. Filmmakers like Bharathan, Puttanna Kanagal, etc., have made several classical bold films in an aesthetic way. I was inspired by them and wanted to try something different."[2] He aimed the film for an audience aged 15-35.[2] The director said the film uses "a blend of several emotions; however, to make it more engaging to the audience we are making sure that the re-recording will aptly complement the narrative and engage the audience".[3]
Casting
[edit]In an interview with The Hindu, Simrat Kaur stated her character to be bold and confident. She compared it to Deepika Padukone's role in 2012 Hindi film Cocktail. The auditioning team was not initially convinced with her look.[4] For her, on screen kissing, wearing lingerie, dialogues in a husky tone was difficult.[4]
In an interview with The Times of India, the lead actor Shravan was skeptical to sign the "bold" film. When he first heard the script, he was wary of erotic thrillers need to be handled very carefully.[5] He described his character role as "a chess player who works part-time as a coach in a reputed chess club." In the film he plays "an ambitious guy who will go to any lengths to achieve what he wants".[5]
Filming
[edit]Principal photography was delayed as the production house was looking for an established female lead.[6] Filming completed in Hyderabad by end of November 2019. There are scenes in the film that were shot for 23 hours at a stretch. Simrat Kaur completed her filming portion in 20 days.[7]

While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
