Is it difficult to avoid clichés when it comes to this genre, and still be relatable? Filmmakers often fail to create a spooky/chilly impact. In the case of Chhorii, it helps to also point out a social evil effectively due to the impact of the genre. This genre helps to elevate the emotions of the story and the experience of living the film. It is an amazing genre that can be very effective to tell a wide range of stories. How do you explain your love for the horror/thriller genre? The projects that you are currently a part of show that you are passionate about genre films. I feel very humbled by the love and appreciation showered on Chhorii. Also, a lot of people, who have never seen a horror film before, have watched Chhorii. The love and appreciation of the audience have motivated me to keep telling honest, earthy Indian stories. The motive to tell the story to a larger audience has been fulfilled. We adapted the story to a different setup to tell this version so that it could relate to the rest of India as well. So the initial thought behind the remake was to tell the story to a much larger audience. Female audiences could relate to the central protagonist a lot. Lapachhapi got a lot of love and appreciation from the Marathi audience.
What was your initial thought behind remaking it for the Hindi-speaking audience? What were the changes you made in Chhorii before releasing it for a pan-India audience? Your Marathi film Lapachhapi was a big success. Edited excerpts from the interview below: In an exclusive interview, filmmaker Vishal Furia talks about his passion to change the horror films scenario in India, success of Chhorii, if it is difficult to avoid clichés when it comes to horror and still be relatable, and much more. It takes a crisp and no-nonsense direction to get the chills and scares reach the audience. Horror and comedy are possibly two of the most difficult-to-execute genres of cinema. Still, directing Chhorii marked an important milestone in Furia's career.
That is not all he wrapped up the shooting of Forensic 2022, the Hindi adaptation of Forensic (2020), the Malayalam crime thriller. Furia also helmed Bombers and The Missing Stone for ZEE5 and MXPlayer respectively. In 2019, he co-directed the first season of Criminal Justice, the official Indian adaptation of the namesake BBC series. However, in reality, he has been around for quite long. Vishal Furia might be referred to as a debutante director, of Chhorii.
