Wissenswertes

NH10 is a 2015 Indian Hindi-language thriller film directed by Navdeep Singh and written by Sudip Sharma. It stars Anushka Sharma, Neil Bhoopalam, Darshan Kumar, and Deepti Naval. NH10 was jointly produced by Clean Slate Filmz, Phantom Films, Eros International and marked the production debut of Sharma. It tells the story of a young couple whose road trip goes awry after an encounter with a group of violent criminals. The title refers to the National Highway 10 that connects Delhi to the town of Fazilka and passes through Haryana.

Production

Director Navdeep Singh made his directorial debut with Manorama Six Feet Under (2007). After that, he read several scripts for his next project and began work on the zombie comedy Rock the Shaadi and the spy thriller Basra, but both films were shelved. Singh said that he wanted to attempt genres that were rarely attempted in Indian cinema. He then chose to work on NH10, a "trip gone wrong" film as it would be "fairly cheap" to make.

Some of the scenarios in NH10 depicted such real-life events as honour killing cases; the scene in which a couple are murdered by their own families was inspired by a real-life case that Sharma and Singh came across while researching for the story. Singh drew likenesses between NH10's love story and the story of Savitri and Satyavan, where the wife fights to save her husband.

In 2013, it was announced that Singh would be making NH10 with Freida Pinto and Rajkummar Rao. The script was first offered to Sharma, but she declined because she was busy with other films at that time. It was then offered to several other actors. While she was filming for Bombay Velvet (2015), its director Anurag Kashyap told Sharma that Singh was trying to make NH10.

Principal photography for NH10 started on 17 January 2014. The film was shot in Gurgaon, Haryana and in the interior of Rajasthan in its second schedule. Singh said he chose Haryana as the backdrop because several incidents similar to those depicted in the film had happened there. A sandstorm occurred during the shoot, causing a halt. It was extensively filmed in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, for a month in its second schedule.

Sharma performed all the stunts herself. She suffered some bruises and back pain while shooting, and was later hospitalised. While filming a night scene, a moon box light weighing around 900 kilograms (2,000 lb) attached to a crane was swaying in high winds; Sharma noticed the skimmer holding the box was torn and could fall, so the team evacuated the area.
