Interesting facts

Love Hostel is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language romantic thriller film written and directed by Shanker Raman and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Drishyam Films. It stars Vikrant Massey, Sanya Malhotra and Bobby Deol. The film was released directly on ZEE5 on 25 February 2022.

Production

Plans to create Love Hostel were first announced in October 2020. Shanker Raman wrote the script for Love Hostel, with the plans that he would also serve as the film's director. While writing the script and developing the movie he focused on "questions of the heart and the mind" and also focused on questioning "what our society has become but also the paths we take to solve our problems". The film also focuses on honor killings.

Bobby Deol was also confirmed as performing in the film. He was initially reluctant to come on to the production. Raman and his crew rewrote the script in hopes of appealing to the actor, who agreed to join the cast upon reading this second draft. The director has stated that these changes "elevated the emotional quotient of the film".

Filming was temporarily halted due to local farmers protesting the 2020 Indian agriculture acts. The farmers stated that they were unhappy that Deol's family did not voice their support for the protest. Several other protestors had similarly disrupted a shoot on another film the previous month. Filming was stopped one additional time by the protestors before it was able to commence. Filming wrapped up on 31 July 2021.
