Director Shivam Shankar Explains Restroom Setting in ‘Bhed, Bakri, Bhoot’

Shivam Shankar, the director of the upcoming horror‑comedy "Bhed, Bakri, Bhoot," spoke to Mid‑Day about the unconventional decision to set the majority of the film inside a restroom. He said the confined space was chosen deliberately to heighten tension and amplify the comedic timing inherent in the genre.
The filmmaker added that a single location allowed the crew to focus on detailed set design and sound design, creating an immersive atmosphere without the logistical challenges of multiple locations.
Shankar also noted that the restroom serves as a metaphor for the characters' trapped emotions, turning an everyday space into a stage for both scares and laughs. The film is expected to hit theatres later this year, with audiences curious to see how the cramped setting shapes the narrative.
