3. Actors like Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor, and Farhan Akhtar were considered for Dushyant Singh’s role

Several brilliant actors like Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar, Jaaved Jaaferi, and Ram Charan were considered for the role of DSP Dushyant Singh. However, it was eventually done by Priyanshu Chatterjee, as the makers thought that a cameo appearance would be too distracting in a film that could be authentic.

Notably, Priyanshu Chatterjee and Vidhu worked together in the 2020 film Shikara.

4. Vikrant Massey didn’t apply make-up to achieve his rural look in the village

One can ascertain Massey’s immense dedication to the film because he didn’t apply any make-up in the film. The actor achieved a perfect village look by spending weeks in the village sunbathing in a vest daily to tan his skin.

In an earlier interview with GQ India, Vikrant shared, “I spent almost a year and a half preparing for the film, and the three months before the shooting were filled with extensive workshops and reading sessions. I had to lose weight and tan my skin. While tanning, my skin actually got burnt, and I freaked out, thinking we’d have to push our shoot by a couple of weeks.”

5. Medha Shankr actually sang in the film

One of the pivotal scenes of Dilli Haat features Shraddha singing a song during a truth and dare game. Interestingly, the actress actually sang the song at the live location. During initial film screenings, a section of the audience thought it was too perfect, like a playback recording. Thus, the sound editors were asked to deliberately change the levels of her singing to make it sound more authentic.
