Production

The concept for The Last One originated when producer Deepak Bagga, along with actress Simran, pitched a one-line horror idea to director Lokesh Kumar. Although Lokesh initially approached them with a different script, he was immediately drawn to the horror concept they proposed. This pivotal moment led to the development of the horror-fantasy film, with Simran taking on the lead role and Deepak Bagga playing a crucial role as the producer. [3]

On 7th September 2024, the makers released the title look of the film along with the first poster. Simran shared the poster on her social media, expressing excitement about her husband, Deepak Bagga, turning producer with this project. [2] [4] [5]
