Actor
Gulshan
Devaiah
said,
"The
script
of
Footfairy
had
me
going
right
from
the
start,
I
was
really
hooked
to
it.
A
lot
of
preparation
went
into
making
this
psychological
crime
thriller.
We
spent
about
2
months
researching
and
preparing
for
this
role
to
ensure
we
get
the
nuances
right.
I
had
an
absolute
rollercoaster
of
a
time
working
with
a
meticulous
and
well-prepared
director
like
Kanishk
Varma
and
his
team.
In
the
movie,
I
am
essaying
the
role
of
a
CBI
officer
which
is
a
first
for
me.
In
the
given
scenario
it
will
be
great
to
take
our
film
to
a
wide
audience
through
a
tv
first
release.
Can't
wait
to
see
how
the
audience
react
to
it."
"Psychological
thrillers
have
always
fascinated
me
because
of
its
immersive
experience
which
keeps
you
hooked
and
at
the
same
time
leaves
you
wanting
for
more.
And,
you're
secretly
trying
to
solve
the
mystery
in
your
head
which
makes
you
feel
like
a
part
of
the
process.
With
a
gripping
narrative,
Footfairy
delivers
the
perfect
amount
of
thrill,
mystery,
and
intrigue
that
will
surely
keep
you
at
the
edge
of
your
seats,"
added
Sagarika
Ghatge.
Speaking
about
Footfairy,
the
writer
and
director
of
the
movie
Kanishk
Varma
said,
"Crime
thrillers
have
always
intrigued
me,
the
whole
suspense,
mystery
and
the
chase
involved
just
blows
my
mind.
I
have
been
a
huge
fan
of
the
book
Mind
Hunter
and
that's
something
that
inspired
me
to
create
Footfairy.
Audiences
today
have
been
exposed
and
are
now
more
accepting
towards
edgier
content.
Footfairy
with
its
bold
and
all
new
perspective
is
a
perfect
film
for
those
who
love
to
explore
and
experiment.
The
movie
touches
upon
subjects
that
exist
but
are
not
openly
spoken
about
like
fetish
or
obsession.
I
enjoyed
working
with
a
very
committed
team
and
together
have
passionately
created
an
edge
of
your
seat
adventure
that
you
are
sure
to
enjoy."
