The film marks Anshuman Jha's directorial debut. In a press release, Jha shared his thoughts on his first directorial project, saying, "Firsts are always special for they only happen once. First teaser of my first directorial. Every Haveli has its secrets, dropping the teaser of "Lord Curzon Ki Haveli" feels like opening the door to a world I've lived with -- dark, mischievous, unforgettable. Can't wait for you to step in and get surprised."

The movie was shot entirely in the UK using a single-lens approach, making it the first mainstream Indian film of its kind. It has already made the rounds at international festivals, including its world premiere at Melbourne and a screening at Europe's biggest genre festival, Razor Reel Flanders. It also earned Anshuman Jha the Best Director award at the UK Asian Film Festival in 2024.

Produced by Golden Ratio Films and First Ray Films, and presented by Max Marketing Limited, the project was written by Bikas Mishra. The film explores themes of identity and belonging while mixing suspense, humour, and historical undertones.

The film is set to hit theatres on October 10 and will clash with Varun Dhawan's 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari', which is scheduled to release on October 2.

Interesting that it's shot entirely in UK with single-lens approach. Hope this brings something fresh to Indian cinema. The historical undertones with Lord Curzon reference could be really engaging if handled well.

The clash with Varun Dhawan's movie might affect its box office performance. But content-driven films like this need our support. Rasika Dugal always chooses meaningful roles! 👏

While I appreciate experimental cinema, I hope the single-lens approach doesn't make it feel too restrictive. Sometimes these technical experiments compromise storytelling. Fingers crossed though!

The mysterious trunk concept reminds me of classic whodunits! Perfect timing for October release - Halloween season suits this dark thriller. Can't wait to see what secrets the Haveli holds! 🔍
