Rahu Ketu producer Suraj Singh on the film’s response, “Our intent was to create a fantasy drama driven by ideas and emotions, rather than mythology or religion”Produced by Suraj Singh under the banner of Blive Productions, Rahu Ketu unfolds in an imagined universe where belief systems, inner conflicts, and human choices form the emotional backbone of the story. Rather than revisiting mythological tales, the film uses fantasy as a creative lens to explore contemporary ideas and personal struggles.

Starring Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma in pivotal roles, the film has been particularly appreciated for its performances. The visual canvas, coupled with a narrative focused on emotional truth, has helped Rahu Ketu connect with the audiences.

Reflecting on the film’s journey post-release, Suraj Singh shared, “With Rahu Ketu, our intent was always to create a fantasy drama driven by ideas and emotions, rather than mythology or religion. The response, so far, has been reassuring because audiences have connected with the film on a human level. The title may sound familiar, but the story is rooted in imagination and inner conflict, not in retelling myths. Seeing viewers engage with that balance makes the journey worthwhile.”

He further added praise for the lead cast, saying, “Pulkit Samrat and Varun brought a lot of honesty to their performances. Their ability to tap into the emotional core of the film helped ground the fantasy and made the characters feel real. That emotional authenticity has been key to how the film has been received.”
