Wissenswertes

Crazxy is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language thriller film written and directed by Girish Kohli in his directorial debut and produced by Sohum Shah, Mukesh Shah, Amita Shah and Adesh Prasad and co-produced by Ankit Jain under Sohum Shah Films. The film stars Sohum in the lead role and one of the only three on-screen characters, apart from his on-screen daughter and Prasad the abductor, as surgeon Abhimanyu Sood, who races against time to rescue his daughter from a kidnapper.

Production

In May 2023, in an interaction with Ankita Kanabar of The Times of India, Sohum Shah described about his subsequent project Crazy which is "[just about] one character who is travelling alone in the car and the film slowly unfolds" and would feature him in different characters. In October 2024, during the re-release of Tumbbad (2018), Sohum officially announced the project under the title Crazxy.

Girish provided him the script to Sohum in 2019, and the latter greenlit the project in early 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as Sohum approached several studios, they declined it due to its non-commercial viability, resulting in Sohum financing the film under his own production. Sohum described the script as a "page turner" while reading the script and felt immediately connected with it.

Principal photography began in 2022 and took nearly two-and-a-half years for the film's production. Much of the film was completed in a single schedule. Sohum also drove in the chase sequences, which were considered to be dangerous and found acting and driving simultaneously was not that easy. Kohli recalled an incident where filming was halted due to the heavy rainfall in Chambal.
