Development

Dirty Hari marks M. S. Raju's directorial return after his 2012 film Tuneega Tuneega . [1] In an interview with Deccan Chronicle, Raju was quoted: "...[the bold scenes] will be shown in a poetic way. Filmmakers like Bharathan, Puttanna Kanagal, etc., have made several classical bold films in an aesthetic way. I was inspired by them and wanted to try something different." [2] He aimed the film for an audience aged 15-35. [2] The director said the film uses "a blend of several emotions; however, to make it more engaging to the audience we are making sure that the re-recording will aptly complement the narrative and engage the audience". [3]

Casting

In an interview with The Hindu , Simrat Kaur stated her character to be bold and confident. She compared it to Deepika Padukone's role in 2012 Hindi film Cocktail . The auditioning team was not initially convinced with her look. [4] For her, on screen kissing, wearing lingerie, dialogues in a husky tone was difficult. [4]

In an interview with The Times of India , the lead actor Shravan was skeptical to sign the "bold" film. When he first heard the script, he was wary of erotic thrillers need to be handled very carefully. [5] He described his character role as "a chess player who works part-time as a coach in a reputed chess club." In the film he plays "an ambitious guy who will go to any lengths to achieve what he wants". [5]

Filming

Principal photography was delayed as the production house was looking for an established female lead. [6] Filming completed in Hyderabad by end of November 2019. There are scenes in the film that were shot for 23 hours at a stretch. Simrat Kaur completed her filming portion in 20 days. [7]
